Lance Bennett continues the “Alive Again” series by discussing the lies we tell, why we tell them, and how they can prevent us from living the life we desire.

God always keeps His Word. He does everything He says He'll do. Those conforming to His Kingdom are learning to keep our Word. We shouldn't have to make promises because we ought to be known as those who do what we say we'll do. With men, this is impossible. But with God, all things are possible. He has removed our sin. He has purchased us for Himself and forgiven us and has promised us an unending life in His presence, though we deserve none of these things. May we be those who trust Him. He has proven that He is faithful and true. Recorded at Refuge TLH on Sunday, July 7, 2019.

If we are going to be a mature Christian, there are some things that need to be put on, and others that need to be put off.

What is hypocrisy? Is hypocrisy condemned? We need to lay aside hypocrisy to others and to ourselves. How can we refrain from hypocrisy?

The meme is "Law bad, Grace good." We tend to think that the Lord's primary purpose for giving us the Law is to show us that we need a Savior.

Rather, Commandments 6-9 highlight the inherent dignity the Lord has given to his people. How so? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover anew and afresh how the Torah reveals our dignity.

Proverbs 6: 16-19

Not church is perfect but that doesn't mean a church can't be great and know the power of God. In the examples given of Barnabas and Ananias and Sapphira we see how God can make a church great even though it's full of sinful people. A great church is filled with great grace, filled with great fear of God and has a great testimony.

Whether you were taught that the ninth commandment says “you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” or “you shall not lie,” there is so much more behind this core principle. Together, let’s explore how truthfulness matters – to our church family and in our witness to a watching world in the middle of a crisis and beyond.

Let’s not forget the context of Jacob’s marvelous dream. Jacob dreams not from the comfort of his own bed. He dreams this dream in the open air, under the stars. No comfy pillow caresses him, only a hard rock. And he’s not camping. He’s running from brother Esau who wants him dead. Oh, yes, Jacob got…
