I am so thankful that by faith in Jesus Christ whom the Father sent we have been set free from the law of sin and death. Thank you Andy for another great message to the Church. God in three persons blessed trinity!!! MARANATHA!!!
I can't believe how broken and weak I am as a Christian when all I really needed to do is stop walking through life backwards. I've missed so many opportunities God has put in front of me because I was too busy looking in the wrong direction. There is an old saying, "A mind is a terrible thing to waist."But I say," the waist in the mind is a terrible thing to remember." I praise God for Dr. Woods ministry and how he teaches to make it understandable. I wished all pastor's could teach this way.
Learned so much today from your teaching, thank you Pastor. Paul’s teaching is better than a psychologist; mostly only looking horizontal and in the mirror. Gods blessings from Europe-Holland.
Thank you Pastor Andy! God just answered my prayer regarding this baptism of the dead verse. I asked the Father a week ago to tell me what it means. Maranatha you guys!
Very powerful! Oh, I know what looking backwards does. I did it for enough time to be miserable, but now my eyes look forwards to the wonders that come with salvation.
You know how google will send you info on items you were thinking of buying? God always send me just the right sermon when I need to hear it. So thankful for this, Now i have to try to live it and look forward and forget past failures and disappointments.
Thank you! When my Mother passed away in Dec of 2015 I was messed up. The pastor’s wife suggested I go to grief counseling. I didn’t believe nor do I still in psychology. I sought a ‘christian’ counselor. She immediately labeled me with having PTSD. She gave me a notebook. Wanted me to write down events in my life that upset me. I was seeing and hearing how unless you deal with the past you can’t move forward. I kept thinking, the Bible says I’m a new creation in Christ. I told her I didn’t believe in Freudian philosophy. I was looking for prescriptions of scripture and wanted to be lead to Him for answers. Nope. Didn’t happen. You’ve just set me free. I knew what I knew but didn’t have any confirmation. NO! I don’t have to be digging up the past and dealing with stuff. First of all I don’t remember 98% of my childhood. If something triggered a memory and I tried to think about what happened to discuss it with her depression would begin to seep in. Nope I’m free and I need to focus on things which are above and move toward the goal NOT dig up the past. I threw that shovel away!
Hallelujah!!!! Praise God. Praise God for answered prayer! Praise God that he is a God of confirmation. He is always speaking. He uses Godly teachers and we thank God for it!!! I’m celebrating with you. Rejoicing in the love of Christ who sets us free!!!! Woooo whooooo! That’s worth celebrating!!! Thank you Lord! Amen.
Your reply was so awesome. You see, I experienced the same at my church as a new believer. I was so excited about being saved. All I wanted to do was get to know Jesus personally. Understand how to discern the Spirit, read the Bible. But the pastor had moved into psychology and embraced this idea about 'getting free from your past'. Everyone in the congregation was going. Many in our church came out of addiction backgrounds so group therapy was something they were familiar with that they did in their recovery programs. I was the only on who refused to go. Psychology scared me. I wasn't proud of my past and didn't want to go back there. Little did I know at the time, that even as a new believer, God's spirit had been faithful to keep me out of that stuff. Month after month people hounded me. I kept repeating, "but I'm a NEW Creation!"...which just seemed to annoy them. Some people ha been thru this thing 2-3 times! Eventually I went to a different church. God has done an incredible work in every believer. But I think even "Christian psychology" is a compromise. It adds to the word Christian, which should stand alone. Doesn't need any help from man!
You guys have a great pastor. Do you know how many pastors in America teach this? You can probably count them on the fingers of one hand. Pastors are too busy trying to address "felt needs" rather than helping people understand their salvation. In fact, I didn't learn from a pastor. I learned from an amazing Christian woman who mentored me as a new Christian. She focused a lot on 'who we are in-Christ'. When you have one-on-one teaching and mentorship like that, you can grow solid in what you believe and mature as a Christian. This teaching remindss me so much of what she taught all those years ago.
THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL! So much hit home today for me. God bless you pastor. Thank you Lord for giving us Godly teachers. Father please keep this man safe and keep him strong in Christ. In Jesus name. Amen.
Thank you Pastor Woods! Your teaching convinced me the promise of GOD. Can you Imagine that a middle-aged woman in Japan alone lead to the true Gospel of the Bible? This is my daily bread.
The Holy Spirit was active during your service in the Lord this morning. I praise Him for His love and the power He has to break the bondage of looking behind. Some here in Washington State are more tepid about opening our churches to in house services. I'm so thankful for your messages that equip, encourage and instruct my husband and me. God bless the staff at Sugar Land Bible Church, may you always be in step with the Spirit of God. Maranatha
Thank you Pastor! This Word truly ministered to me. IT IS baffling why we as Christians do not comprehend God’s grace.....I myself often live TRYING to please Him by way of works, and it is not only exhausting, but serves no purpose to our Lord in Heaven. This teaching came right on time! Thank you again.
If he said his yoke be easy, works should play least part, therin your faith through the knowing of his/the word, to better yourself and those of your life, is most. Here'in the word is heard and explained.
Hi brother Andy. Wrt escapism, have people not read Luke 21 v 36? If I have this out of context, please forgive me and if you find time would you please let me know somehow. Many thanks God deeply bless you all Chris
