Does Sin Bother YOU? Bible Study with Pastor Larry
In this episode, Pastor Larry delivers an inspiring message from the word of God, emphasizing the importance of spiritual strength and participation in our faith journey. Drawing from Psalms 119, Pastor Larry reminds listeners that while God provides the power and strength, it is up to us to seek Him wholeheartedly and apply these gifts to our lives.
Pastor Larry explores the contrast between living according to the flesh versus living by the Spirit, as highlighted in the book of Ephesians. He explains that before becoming Christians, we were spiritually dead, walking according to the world and under the influence of Satan. However, through God's grace and faith, we are saved, and this salvation is a gift that cannot be earned through works.
He underscores the need for a personal relationship with God, pointing out that the world system often promotes false beliefs and works-based salvation. Pastor Larry asserts that true salvation comes only through Jesus Christ and a genuine acceptance of His grace. He challenges listeners to reflect on their own lives, urging them to seek the Holy Spirit's guidance and live in accordance with God's truth.
The podcast also delves into the necessity of awareness and spiritual discernment. Pastor Larry warns against conforming to worldly beliefs and encourages believers to be vigilant, living as true followers of Christ. He addresses the importance of worshiping God in spirit and truth, as mentioned in the story of the woman at the well in John 4.
Throughout the episode, Pastor Larry calls for self-reflection, urging listeners to examine whether they are truly walking with Christ or simply following the world's ways. He emphasizes that a true Christian life involves rejecting the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. He concludes with a heartfelt appeal to both believers and non-believers to seek a deeper relationship with God and to share this message with others in need of hearing it.
