Revelation 12 - Against the Authority of God

Revelation 18 exposes how mankind is affected by the spirit of this world and how it helps set one's mind and heart in opposition to God's authority. Join us as Steve Gallagher discusses how we can either be filled with the Lord and His Spirit or the enemy and the spirit of this world. Also, Steve breaks down the joy and hope we have in the coming of the Lord's Kingdom and the destruction of the spirit of this world, (the spirit of Babylon) in these last days.

#564 (REPLAY) - Called out of Terrible Darkness | Brian's Story of Hope

When Brian was growing up, he wholeheartedly pursued sex, drugs, a musical career; ANYTHING that would bring him fulfillment. But then, God began to draw Brian—through a drumming gig at a church, through a girlfriend who was fed up with his porn addiction, and then through his time in the Residential Program at Pure Life Ministries. Little by little, God was calling Brian to become a dedicated follower of Jesus.

Revelation 11 - Mystery Babylon

In Revelation 17, the Apostle John warned of the mystery of Babylon, the great mother of harlots. Join us as Steve Gallagher unpacks this profound chapter and warns us of how if we do not separate ourselves from the lawlessness of this world that has even crept into church culture, we will be seduced into the spirit of Babylon.

#673 - I Saw No Way Out of Homosexuality

Jordan Yoshimine’s story is all too familiar. Raised in a church-going family. Introduced to sexual sin at an early age. Craved everything the world had to offer. A recipe that always ends in disaster and ruin.
But God.
Jordan’s testimony is a perfect example of how the hope and divine mercy that only comes from Jesus opens the way for ANY addict to return to the Lord. His story of victory can be your story, too.

Revelation 10 - Will You Follow Satan or Jesus Christ?

Revelation 13 confronts people with a point of decision, will you follow Satan or will you follow Jesus? Many people speak of taking the mark of the beast by accident or someone forcing you to put a chip in your arm. This chapter of Revelation paints the picture that people will make a willing decision to join in worship to Satan and hatred of God or to choose to worship Jesus even in the face of death.

#672 - Transforming Your Out-of-Control Desires

Many believers feel trapped in hidden habits, cycling through failure and brief victories. Most have tried to find freedom produced by sheer effort or self-help. Real change begins with the understanding that it's not a matter of suppressing desires, but transforming them. Biblical counselor, Ken Holloway, joins the show to discuss how Christians can train their heart to desire what God desires for lasting, Christ-centered freedom.

From the Chapel: Fears Are Stilled, When Strivings Cease

When G came into the residential program, he was spinning his wheels. For a long time he tried in his own strength to please God. Ever patient, the Lord continually wooed G to Himself. Then one day, through divine revelation, he saw that all of his own effort proved he had no trust in God. Reflecting on God's faithfulness towards him, G felt Jesus asking him, "Will you trust Me?" He responded, "Jesus, I will trust You." Finally surrendering his self-effort, G began anchoring himself in the Lord's faithfulness leading to a radically changed life.

#671 - Coming Out of the Darkness We Chose

All addictions send a person in one direction and one direction only: down. Sexual sin, drugs, alcohol, and even entertainment all promise fulfillment. But as a soul continually heeds temptation’s voice, it becomes increasingly corrupted: crossing lines that once seemed too far away and growing attracted to things that once seemed repulsive. This is called the Spiral of Degradation. This dark path always leads to ruin. Yet through the power of God and His gift of repentance, that journey can be reversed. Luke Imperato explains the dynamics of this destructive direction and shows how to turn back.

Revelation 09 - The Fall of Satan and the Triumph of the Saints

Revelation 12 brings in great symbolism of the struggle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness dating way back to the fall of Satan and his angels in Heaven and occurring all the way up to what will transpire in the end times. Join us as Steve Gallagher discusses this profound chapter of Scripture and encourages us as believers on how we can walk victorious through whatever the forces of darkness may throw at us in the last days.
