Pure Life Ministries Sermons

In the final sermon of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at the Light of God. There are many Christians bound up in sexual sin who don’t know what’s holding them back. They try to find the answers through professional counselors, weekend seminars, teaching books, and accountability groups—but are left stuck in a cycle of sin time and time again. Little are they aware that if they s...

In the 33rd message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at God’s power over death. Strong or weak, rich or poor, proud or humble—death will eventually overcome us all. But here’s the good news: God has provided the way out through a living relationship with Jesus Christ. But we must make a choice: refuse the gospel in exchange for love of the world, or repent of our sins and belie...

Good news, Christian: You don’t have to live in defeat! Even though sin seems to be accepted in American Christianity, Romans 6–8 shows this was never God’s plan. In the final message from our recent special meetings, Dr. John Oswalt unpacks this passage to show that, for all who repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ, the truth is clear: You can live in victory!   Scriptures taken from the Ho...

In the third message from our recent special meetings, Dr. John Oswalt explores the heart behind Abraham's willingness to offer his only son to God. He calls us to examine our own hearts, and withhold nothing from God—even what is most precious to us.   Scriptures taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV®.

Over the next four weeks we will be featuring powerful messages by renowned Old Testament scholar, Dr. John Oswalt. These sermons were delivered in a series of special meetings to the men in our Residential Program. The altars were flooded every service for four days as Dr. Oswalt preached about the power God has to cleanse us. Dr. Oswalt currently serves at Asbury Theological Seminary as professo...

In the 32nd message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at God’s love for the Old Testament.  The Old Testament makes up the vast majority of Scripture. Yet mostly New Testament passages form the basis for Sunday sermons across our country. Certainly the New Testament’s importance cannot be understated—but neither can the Old Testament’s. Not only does the Old Testament provide a...

In the 31st message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at the Knowledge of God.   The apostle Paul knew God in a way that gave a fire to his ministry and his prayers for his spiritual children. And his desire for all the churches he established was that they would know God like he did and walk in the power of God.   Nate Danser takes a look at Paul's letter to the Colossians to u...

Adam and Eve couldn’t have realized what devastation they would cause by listening to Satan’s deception. And in the same way for us, whenever we choose to commit sin, we have no idea what the consequences might be.   But God has made a way out of this destructive path. It just requires one thing: our entire being.   In this sermon from our archives, Nate Danser breaks down the biblical pattern of...

In the 30th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at God’s final words to Israel before they entered the Promised Land.   God knew the difficulties Israel would face in the Promised Land: strong enemies idol worship sexual temptation The odds were not in their favor.   But what Israel had was guaranteed victory if they truly lived in and obeyed God’s words to them.   In toda...

In the 29th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at God’s desire to be found. What if God offered you everything you ever wanted—victory, security, even ministry fruitfulness—but said He wouldn’t go with you? Would you take the deal? Moses had that chance, but he boldly refused, declaring, “If you don’t go with us, we won’t go.” But this isn’t just a story about Moses. It’s...

In the 28th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at God’s probationary system. God has set up earth-life as a testing ground to prepare us for eternity. To many, this concept may seem strange or unfamiliar, but a thorough examination of Scripture confirms this idea. In today’s message, Steve Gallagher explains three aspects of God’s probationary system to help us see the si...

In the 27th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at the Discipline of God.   When a sinner begins following the Lord, he will quickly discover much within him that needs to change. While we may expect that to happen instantaneously, God’s normal process is to sanctify us slowly for the rest of our lives. This is His process of discipline. Our progress in the spiritual life...

In the 26th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at what it means for God to be an ever-present Father.  The Bible testifies to the fact that, when a person is born again, the gracious Father who adopted them provides them with everything they need to live the victorious Christian life. In today’s sermon, Dustin Renz gives us four significant reminders about what God's fath...

In the 25th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at the Severity and the Mercy of God. “God hates the sin, but He loves the sinner.” While there is truth to these words, we have a propensity to make the love of God an excuse for living in habitual sin, while totally ignoring God's severity in dealing with sin. So in this week’s message, Nate Danser breaks down what sin real...

There has only ever been one Judas Iscariot—someone who walked alongside God in the flesh, only to betray Him to His death. Yet, the lessons from Judas’ life and where he went astray are deeply relevant to all of us. This powerful message by Ed Buch led many to the altar in repentance during our Sunday morning service. We pray the Holy Spirit will use it to search your heart as well, exposing any...

In the 24th message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, Steve Gallagher shares God’s pathway for victory over sexual sin. Every professing Christian who is constantly losing the battle against sexual sin has developed a distorted view of God. As a result, they question God and His ways. In today’s sermon, Steve Gallagher answers some of these questions with biblical answers to prove that God is not...

It is a spiritual law that a life which is dominated by sin can only breed death. But it is also a spiritual law that a life dominated by righteousness can only breed life. So what hope can the habitual sinner ever have to live that kind of life? In our recent chapel service, Nate Danser & Steve Gallagher shared about how it wasn’t the American church system which enabled them to do so, but it...
