Have you ever sought to fill a void in your life by trying to gain the approval of others but found the void only became greater?

ABIDING IN CHRIST
One of the Greatest Disconnects of God's calling upon men today is found in Gal. 2:20. "We have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me.
There was a dramatic shift in who we are and how we live life on the day that Jesus Christ came to take up residence in our lives. For many men, not much changed on that day, if that day indeed happened. Many still live pretty much as they always did except now they attend church and call themselves Christians.
God has told us that He has come to abide within us, and we are to abide with Him if we ever hope to live out this new life that He has called us to. What does it mean to abide in Christ, and what does that kind of life look like?
Open up your Bibles and let the Holy Spirit get real and personal with you, as we discover what the gospel has to say about abiding with Christ.

Go The Second Mile - Part 4
Have you ever considered what would’ve happened if Paul and Silas had fled with all the other prisoners when the prison was shaken? Because they stayed (i.e., “went the second mile”), God was able to save the prison guard and his entire household! Going the second mile creates an opportunity for God to meet a need in the life of our enemies.
As you reflect on this command, it is key to understand that God desires to use us as channels to minister His life to our enemies. How amazing it is that as we lay our lives down to the Lord, He is able to replace our attitudes of selfishness and self-protection with the life of His Son! Only through Him is it possible to overcome evil with good.

Go The Second Mile - Part 3
God desires to “grow us up” - His will is to mature us so that we grow beyond our natural response to offenses. One of the first steps is that we allow Him to change our mind and give us a new perspective on offenses. As we respond correctly to the tests and pressures that come, this brings maturity in our lives.

Go The Second Mile - Part 2
“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21). We will all be offended. But offenses can become opportunities for us to turn away from our natural reactions and to receive the Lord’s response in the situation. Listen as Nate and Gabe share the dangers of reacting in our flesh - instead of overcoming evil, we become part of the evil.

Keep Your Word - Part 1
Oftentimes it is easy for us to belittle our words – to make excuses for not keeping our word or to justify ourselves for why we didn’t do what we said we would do. However, God calls us to a higher way of living. As Christians, we need to be as good as our word! Listen as Nate and Gabe expound on Jesus’ command in Matthew 5 to “let your yes be yes and your no be no.”

Bonus - John Van Gelderen: The Way of Escape
In this riveting episode, John Van Gelderen and Gabe uncover some of Satan’s tactics in bringing temptation into our lives. To counter these attacks, they share a life changing truth God has given to overcome! You will be encouraged as you see God’s provision in Christ as “THE way of escape.”
Temptation comes in different forms – there is temptation caused by the physical realm and temptation caused by the spiritual realm. God has made a way for us to escape – and it comes as we understand our position in Christ! What does it mean that Christ is in us? And what does it mean that we are in Christ? This message is perhaps one of the most practical you will ever hear on how to “appropriate” our position in Christ!

Do Not Lust - Part 4
Listen as Nate and Gabe share from the example of Achan how lust plays out in our lives. In life we will be faced with things we can’t always control, but by the grace of God, we don’t have to turn our heart toward those things. If we let Him, God can train us to look away from those things to Him! This is the way of victory!
Listen and be encouraged that victory in the area of lust doesn’t come from our effort, but rather from dependence on the Lord. God's way to overcome lust is by way of replacement - when we pursue intimacy with the Lord and fill our mind with His Word it replaces us and pushes everything else out!

Do Not Lust - Part 3
Galatians 6:7 says, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” One key to overcoming lust in our lives is to realize that every thought we think is a seed planted, and it will bear fruit. Join Nate and Gabe as they share how this principle is true not only a wrong thoughts but also of planting God’s Word in our hearts!

Do Not Lust - Part 2
Moral freedom is not a status to be obtained, it is a Person to be depended upon. And that Person’s name is Jesus! As we pursue intimacy with Jesus and are filled more and more with His Word, we will see Him increase our lives, and thus be set free from the bondage of lust!
