Don’t Let The Old Self In
May 22, 2022
Hello Kingdom Family,
Please watch this sermon bumper video before listening to the message: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjcESAljVSM
Welcome to our message series, “Romans: I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel.” Today’s message is titled “Don’t Let The Old Self In.” Pastor Harold will unpack Romans 4:13-25 and help us better understand how illness, aging, work, doubt, guilt, and shame will cause us to believe we must do something to help ensure our righteousness with God.
We are also reminded that our spirit (soul) remains young while our body wears out. We may not feel worthy to serve God and love others as we age; our spirit should remain joyful, grateful, and full of love until we take our last breath and close our eyes for the final time. Understanding this truth helps us not fall into the trap of apathy and the abyss of self-pity.

Today’s message for Sunday, July 5, 2020, is titled “A Special Kind of Freedom.” In our message today, Pastor Harold unpacks Matthew 11:16-19; 25-30 and helps us understand the difference between the “world system” versus “The Kingdom of God.” The principalities and powers of this world influence our lives to the point of delusion, where we believe we are in full control of our lives. Human beings tend to reject God because they wish to play God themselves and rule their own lives. This lust and quest to do what we want, how we want, and when we want, has been in existence since “the fall of humankind” in the Garden of Eden. If we are honest with ourselves, when we look back at our lives as individuals, as America and the world, we see where we made decisions based on self, which later put us in a position to be hurt. To become genuinely free can only happen when we put our will in line with God.
