Send us Fan Mail You experienced freedom—but a few weeks later, you fell back into the same struggle. Does that mean deliverance didn't work? Karl Gessler examines why freedom can be followed by relapse, the role of unbelief, and what must happen after deliverance if you're going to learn to walk free. Support the show❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/deliverance➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgessle...  / karlgessler  ...

In Christ, believers are free—but Christian freedom must never become a stumbling block to others. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef continues in 1 Corinthians 8, where Paul addresses the issue of eating meat that had been offered to idols. The mature believers in Corinth knew they were free to eat the meat with a clean conscience. But some younger or weaker believers, remembering their former life in idolatry, could not eat it without spiritual distress. Paul's instruction was clear: love must override rights. Even when something is not morally or spiritually wrong in itself, it becomes wrong when exercised carelessly in a way that wounds another believer's conscience. Dr. Youssef gives three reasons believers must exercise restraint. First, knowledge is not enough—sound doctrine must be joined with mature love. Second, not every Christian has the same understanding or level of maturity, so right belief must lead to right relationships. Third, wounding another believer's conscience through carelessness is sin, and mature Christians are called to sacrificial love. In Christ, we are free—not free to sin, but free to love. When God takes charge of our freedom, we learn to humble ourselves, serve the body of Christ, and trust Him to satisfy us completely, even when love requires sacrifice. Prayer: Father, thank You for setting me free from my sin and selfishness. May I lay aside my own preferences to lift others up according to Your will. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  “Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak” (1 Corinthians 8:9). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

First Corinthians 8 addresses a question that was not explicitly forbidden in Scripture: whether believers should eat meat that had been sacrificed to idols. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains how Paul guided the Corinthian church through an issue that required wisdom, conscience, and sensitivity to others. In first-century Corinth, much of the available meat had previously been offered to idols. Some mature believers understood that idols were nothing and ate with a clear conscience. Others, especially those recently converted from pagan worship, could not eat without violating their conscience. Neither group was necessarily sinning—but both needed to walk in love. Dr. Youssef reminds us that while the cultural issues may differ today, the principle remains the same. Believers must avoid both legalism and license. Legalism measures spirituality by man-made rules, while license twists Christian liberty into permission to sin. But Biblical freedom is never freedom to sin—it is freedom to serve Christ and love others. Gray areas should not divide the body of Christ. Those who enjoy freedom in Christ must not flaunt that freedom before weaker believers, and those with more sensitive consciences must not treat secondary issues as matters of salvation. God has given His people a Spirit-filled life—not a rule-bound life—so we can walk in humility, wisdom, and love. Prayer: Lord, I rejoice in the freedom I have in You. Help me pursue righteousness toward my brothers and sisters in Christ through humility and love. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  “Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that ‘We all possess knowledge.' But knowledge puffs up while love builds up” (1 Corinthians 8:1). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

This week the fellas talk about the freedom of the Christian and the two extremes.

Send us Fan MailYou didn't fail at deliverance.Many people go through deliverance only to find themselves struggling with old habits, addictions, or bondage again. Then shame sets in: I failed. Deliverance didn't work. Maybe I'll never be free.That's wrong thinking.Deliverance is something you receive, not something you do. And deliverance itself isn't the Gospel—it is a byproduct of the Gospel.The bedrock truth beneath all freedom is this: God loves you right now.This message is for anyone who has tried to get free and feels discouraged. Keep coming to the well of the Holy Spirit. Keep receiving. Keep pursuing freedom.You didn't fail.

Grow with us as we venture together through the correctional words that Paul delivers to the church in Corinth! Speaker: Pastor Syndi ShoffSeries: WE ARE THE CHURCH Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1www.risechurchid.org

We live in a culture that celebrates freedom above almost everything else. We treasure our independence, our rights, and our ability to make our own choices. But what if the freedom we've been given as followers of Christ is meant for something far greater than simply doing whatever we want?__________Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

Galatians 3:15-29

July 12, 2026 | Galatians 5:13-15 | Pastor Isaac Cantrell

 True freedom is found in more than independence, success, or personal choice—it is found in Jesus Christ alone. In this episode, Free Indeed (John 8:36), we explore the difference between outward freedom and inward bondage, and how Christ offers lasting freedom from sin, fear, guilt, and spiritual captivity. 

Pastor Sam          1 Corinthians  8:1 - 9:27

We see three things in these three verses: The Power of Freedom (13a), The Purpose of Freedom (13b-14), and The Peril of Freedom (v15).

Happy Independence Day, and the 250th Birthday of America!In this sermon, Pastor Christopher talks about the big idea of the book of Galatians, and who Paul is writing to. He shares with us the soul freedom we can obtain through Jesus Christ, and breaks down the Declaration, Duty, and Danger that Paul talks about in this passage. Finally, Christopher gives us three freedom facts found within this verse. Thanks for Listening...LAKEVIEW MISSIONARY CHURCH810 S.

This weekend, we took a look at 2 Corinthians 6:1–7:1, where Paul invites us into a kind of freedom that is deeper than cultural definitions or personal autonomy—a freedom rooted in the gospel and lived out with hearts wide open.This passage shows us that true Christian freedom isn't the absence of hardship, but the ability to endure honestly, live transparently, and remain anchored in Christ through every circumstance. As we receive God's Word and open our hearts to Him, we begin to experience the kind of freedom that reshapes our relationships, our affections, and our everyday lives.Paul calls us to live intentionally in light of our new identity in Christ—turning from anything that competes with the gospel and embracing the expansive, life-giving freedom found in Him.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

Galatians 2:1-10

In Galatians 5:13–15, Paul reminds believers that Christian freedom isn't a license for self-indulgence but a calling to love. Freedom from the burden of the law and the condemnation of sin, we're not released into selfish living but Spirit-empowered service. True freedom fulfills the righteousness the law demanded but could never produce! When we walk in love, we reflect the heart of God.

Galatians 5:22-26

Galatians 1:3-12

Paul Axton preaches: The theme of Mathew captured in Immanuel, is completed in the Lord's Supper, in which the efficacious presence of God is made to bear on the lives of believers in what Hegel calls "actualized Christian Freedom." There is freedom from the violence of blood spilled in the taking up of the blood of Christ in the life of believers.  If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work.

How should Christians approach contraception and family planning?Unless a Christian couple has taken the time to investigate contraceptive and family planning options, it can be hard to know what exists, what is safe, and what is ethical. In part two of this two-part episode, we continue our conversation about how to honor God in our approach to family planning. We discuss the risks of hormonal birth control and respond to some additional listener questions about when to start having kids — and also whether it's OK to be done.Chapters:(0:00) Introductions: Resetting the Discussion(1:45) Fertility Awareness vs. Hormonal Birth Control(8:13) When Are You Ready to Have Kids?(17:30) Is It OK to Be Done Having Kids?(22:38) Christian Freedom in Family Planning

Today we're discussing the debate between feminists and non-feminists, and why I side with the non-feminists for biblical reasons. Just because women can do some of what men do doesn't mean we should. We'll also continue discussing the Charlie Kirk case, Erika Kirk's strange behavior, why being a widow doesn't automatically make you innocent, and why it's deeply concerning that TPUSA refuses to distance itself from Israel, even as Charlie's final words publicly challenged Israel, Judaism, and the control of figures like Ben Shapiro over the conservative movement.

Fr. Mike reminds us of the context of Galatians and reiterates Paul's admonition not to revert to our previous ways of life now that we have been freed from the yoke of slavery. He also discusses the works of the flesh which separate us from Christ and the fruits of the spirit which result from a life lived in God, reminding us that we will reap what we sow in due season. Today's readings are Acts 25, Galatians 4-6, and Proverbs 29:15-17. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
