The Bible Speaks Live! | Hot Topic Tuesday Pastor Michael Jakes

It's happened to all of us. Disobedience on our part leads to a sense of frustration and a desire to 'make it right'. Because we feel that we have 'let God down', we overcompensate by 'doing more' for the Lord. In an effort to 'right our wrongs' and please God, we engage in 'fig leaf' righteousness, which somehow and some way make us 'feel better'. Herein lies the deception. But is this the goal, to just feel better? Or are we to simply to trust Him that we are forgiven? Join us as we study the subtle danger of fig leaves in the Christian life and how they serve to move us away from the Cross of Christ.

Jesus prayed that we would be one. His prayer has been answered; organically and spiritually we ARE one in Him. At the same time, scripture speaks clearly about the possibility of schisms in the body, and also about what happens when we bite and devour one another. So the question becomes, while we are one in the most important sense, are we one practically? Are we living, breathing and behaving as one—all things considered?

More than ever, the Word of God is being both attacked and twisted. As God's people, we need to stand up for truth--but we need to first KNOW the truth. The Word of God is front and center in this session; join us for this important study.

Join us at as we take a walk on the backside of the desert to understand its meaning, purpose, and necessity in our life. What we will see ultimately is that there is a high side to the rough side of the backside of the desert.
