Podcasts about overcoming sin

Father Matthew Widder joins Deacon Patrick Conley to discuss Overcoming Sin Resolving to sin no more in confession? (4:43) What is sin really? (11:34) The saints were very aware of their sins. Why was this? (17:50) Mary Jane - When I go to confession, I am confessing that I am wishing that I am not taking care of my parents and wishing that I’m not here. I really miss my grandchildren, being free from working but can’t visit my family. Is that a sin? (23:21) Break 1 (26:21) Enrique - Maybe I am being overly guilty and overly scrupulous according to my confessor. Perhaps some of the Saints were guilty of scrupulosity even with minor sins? (30:23) Mary - When unwanted thoughts enter my mind, what should I do with those? Sometimes they come from nothing, or they come from past anger. (38:35) Break 2 The importance of replacing sin in out lives with something else. How to battle against the sin of gossip? (43:25) Katie - My current husband is seeking an annulment. I go to confession regularly, as of a month ago, all my confessions have been invalid said a priest so I've stopped. They say it was because I'm living with my husband while he is going through annulment. Is this true? Jean - Wondering about a sinful pattern of watching movies, staying up late, and eating too much all at once. How to overcome that?

Sin is a slippery slope, and the devil entices us using things he knows will get our attention and leave us continually wanting more. God can give us the wisdom to know how to get out of these situations, but we must use it and actually make the right choices to follow God.

The sermon centers on the transformative power of divine revelation as the foundation for authentic Christian faith and the building of the church as a unified body. It emphasizes that true understanding of Christ is not merely intellectual knowledge but a spiritual revelation from God, exemplified in Peter's confession and the revelation of Christ's humanity and temptation in Hebrews 4:15. This revelation enables believers to overcome sin not through repeated confession alone, but by accessing the same grace that empowered Christ in His temptations, leading to a life of victory and holiness. The church, therefore, is not merely a collection of saved individuals, but a living body built on this revelation, where believers are united in humility, obedience, and spiritual warfare against demonic schemes, rejecting division and personal conflict in favor of Christ-centered unity. The preacher calls listeners to abandon a passive, self-centered faith and instead commit to the costly, lifelong work of building the church as a testimony to God's redemptive purpose, where every believer is equipped to live in freedom from sin and to stand against the powers of darkness.

In this first (official) installment of my semi-weekly ‘Theology Thursday' series, I discuss how God enables us to overcome sin through the power of His Spirit. Reflecting on a recent sermon I heard from Matthew 5:27-30, in which Jesus equates lust with adultery and then instructs his audience to gouge out an eye or cut off a hand if it causes them to sin. While Jesus is obviously using hyperbole, he doesn't in this passage explain precisely how one is to over the temptation of adultery (or any other sin). Fortunately, Paul fills in the gaps. Drawing on Romans 8, particularly 8:12-14, Paul says that it is the Spirit which enables us to put to death the deeds of the flesh. All throughout Romans Paul has drawn a parallel between sin and death, a Biblical theme reaching back to the Garden of Eden and paralleled in the covenant between God and Israel outlined in Deuteronomy 27-32. Sin necessarily leads to corruption and death, a point Paul repeatedly makes in Romans and necessitating, as Jesus implies, a surgical removal. Fortunately, those who place their faith in God's Messiah Jesus are given the Spirit, which allows us to begin the process of resurrection in the present and overcome our sin-which-leads-to-death through the gracious, Spirit-enabled process of sanctification. We can and should work to overcome the corruption of sin and are, by God's grace, enabled to do so through the power of the Spirit. The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

In this message, Pastor Karl wraps up the church's three-week study of Matthew 12 — what he calls the hinge point of Jesus's ministry and of all human history. Drawing from verses 40 through 50, he unpacks three powerful moments that reveal the heart of what Jesus was communicating to a resistant generation.Pastor Karl begins with Jesus's references to Jonah and the Queen of Sheba, showing how Jesus used these figures to slam the door on the demand for endless proof. The issue, he argues, was never a lack of evidence — it was a lack of surrender. Unbelief isn't intellectual; it's volitional.From there, Pastor Karl digs into one of the most misunderstood passages in Matthew: the parable of the empty house. When an unclean spirit returns to find a swept but empty home, it brings seven more spirits worse than itself. Jesus's point is sobering — moral reform without spiritual transformation is a setup for collapse. Cleaning up your life in your own strength, without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, leaves you more vulnerable than before, not less.Finally, Pastor Karl addresses Jesus's surprising response to his own family, and what it reveals about who truly belongs to the family of God. It isn't inherited proximity or religious familiarity — it's submission and obedience to the Father.This episode is a challenge and an encouragement: stop trying to clean the house on your own. The victorious life Jesus offers isn't just about forgiveness — it's about being filled and clothed in the power of the Holy Spirit.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Pastor Johnny Green begins a new teaching series titled “Overcomers” by teaching on the destructive nature of sin and how, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can overcome it.

In this teaching, Pastor Josh explores the profound significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of the Christian faith. This message challenges us to look beyond temporary struggles and fix our eyes on the eternal victory secured at the empty tomb. Key Highlights & Topics: The Cornerstone of Faith: Why the resurrection is not merely an annual celebration, but the very foundation of our hope, salvation, and eternal life—rooted in Luke 24. The Identity of Christ: A deeper look into the humility and selflessness of Jesus, who chose to remain fully man to bridge the gap between God and humanity. Overcoming Sin & Despair: Practical insight into how the power of the Holy Spirit and the truth of God's Word enable believers to walk in victory over addiction and past failures. Biblical Foundations: An examination of 1 Corinthians 15, showing why our faith, the gospel, and our hope are meaningless without the physical resurrection of Christ. A Call to Revival: A powerful invitation to allow our hearts to be softened and our lives transformed by the living, risen Lord. Scripture References: Luke 24 — The Empty Tomb 1 Corinthians 15 — The Foundation of the Resurrection John 13–16 — The Promise of the Holy Spirit Matthew 26 — The Grace of Christ in the Garden Connect with Us: Thank you for listening to this Resurrection Sunday message.

Welcome back to the Eden Podcast! In Episode 2 of our transformative live series, we confront the uncomfortable but liberating truth about our spiritual reality. Are you ready to stop hiding and step back into genuine communion with your Heavenly Father? This empowering Christian podcast explores the vital, relational purpose behind God's voice and exposes the deceptive tactics of the enemy that keep us isolated and ashamed.In this powerful session, we contrast the voice of God—which is loving, constant, and designed for relationship—with the voice of the enemy. We analyze the tactics of Satan, the ultimate deceiver, who uses subtle lies and twisted truths to sow seeds of doubt about God's goodness and our worth. Have you bought into the lie that God is withholding from you, or that you must earn His love? We expose these toxic narratives and learn how to identify the subtle “weeds” of deception growing in our hearts.But the good news doesn't stop with simply recognizing the problem; it provides the solution. We explore the profoundly freeing concepts of confession and true repentance. Confession isn't about punishment; it's about breaking the chains of shame. It's stepping out of the dark shadows of isolation and declaring, “I am struggling here,” allowing God's light to illuminate our broken places. We learn that repentance is not a sign of weakness but an act of bold faith—a purposeful turning away from destructive patterns and turning back toward the heart of God.It is time to replace the enemy's deceptive whispers with the solid, unshakable truth of God's Word. You are fully known, deeply loved, and fiercely pursued by a Father who longs for you to live in freedom. Join us as we learn to silence the lies and boldly reclaim our spiritual inheritance.

Are you stuck in a cycle of sin, shame, or ongoing struggle? Do you believe God forgives you—but still wonder if He's disappointed in you? The Bible makes it clear that God's grace is greater than your sin, deeper than your shame, and stronger than your current battle. This message shows why you can't out-sin the cross and how grace gives you power not just to be forgiven—but to be restored. In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches that no failure, addiction, secret, or weakness can overpower the finished work of Jesus. In this sermon, you'll learn: Why you cannot out-sin God's grace The difference between guilt and shame—and how to break free from both What Romans 7 really says about ongoing spiritual struggle How grace covers your past, present, and future Why you're not fighting for grace—but from grace Your sin may be loud. Your shame may feel heavy. Your struggle may feel endless. But grace answers louder. Grace stands taller. Grace wins. You are not barely tolerated—you are relentlessly loved. And where sin increased, grace super-overflowed.

God has made us for a purpose, but when we give into the sin struggles that the devil uses to sabotage us, we get off course and often create a lot of unnecessary damage. The worst form of sabotage is suicide because there is no coming back from that here on earth and it ends a life that God may have had many more redeeming plans for.

In Song of Solomon 1:4, the bride says to the bridegroom, "Draw me after you and let us run together." What a picture of sincere desire for the Lord! But let's be honest. For many regular church attendees in the United States, it's easy to SAY they love the Lord like that, but their lives outside of the church speak something different. Devotion to the Lord is CRITICAL for victory over sin for today, and for the dark days ahead. Steve and Kathy Gallagher discuss this and more on this week's episode.   Resources: Hope for Struggling Marriages (Video Series) By Kathy Gallagher Hope for Hurting Wives (Podcast Series) By Pure Life Ministries When His Secret Sin Breaks Your Heart (Book) By Kathy Gallagher

All of us struggle with temptation and sin, if we're honest. One of the main reasons for this is that it can be so pleasurable. We were wired for pleasure - so that makes it even harder to resist. However, once we discover that God created pleasure so we could have our greatest pleasure in Him, a shift can take place in our understanding and experience. The only way to eclipse our most dominant sinful attractions is to become overwhelmed by a greater attraction - the beauty of the Lord! If you have tried everything to overcome temptation but cannot - here is a message for you: 'The Ultimate Secret To Overcoming Sin' found in Matthew 17:1-8 and 2 Corinthians 3:17-18. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format...

Biblical rest is not about exhaustion but the completion of God's purpose, seen in five key moments throughout Scripture. Solomon's Temple represents a pivotal point in this pattern, where God's rest and reign came together in a permanent dwelling place. This divine pattern—chaos subdued, work completed, God enthroned—foreshadows Jesus Christ, the ultimate temple where God's presence dwells fully. When we live under God's reign, we experience His true rest, no longer striving in our own strength but living from His finished work, in His presence, toward His promised future.Biblical rest is not inactivity but the completion of God's purpose and the establishment of His reign.God's pattern of rest (chaos subdued, work completed, God enthroned) is consistent throughout Scripture and applies to our personal salvation.The temple, like creation and the tabernacle before it, was a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, the true temple where God's presence rests permanently.Many Christians struggle because they're holding onto sin rather than surrendering to God's rest and reign.God desires to rest with us more than we desire to rest with Him, and He invites us into supernatural rest that our finite minds cannot fully comprehend.Support the show

On this Freedom Friday, we wrapped up our weekly theme of “Overcoming” with a discussion with Dr. Crawford Loritts about the importance of addressing the root of our sin when trying to overcome it. Dr. Loritts is the President and Founder of Beyond Our Generation, an organization committed to helping the next generation of Christian leaders. He is a nationally known speaker, author, mentor, and the former Senior Pastor of Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, Georgia. We then turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners to tell us about a time they were praying to overcome one thing, but God revealed that there was a deeper issue. If you're looking to hear a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps: Gospel [5:19] Caller Segment [33:32 ] Dr. Crawford Loritts Interview (Overcoming Sin) [47:33 ] Karl and Crew airs live weekday mornings from 5-9 a.m. Central Time.
