Why Do I Do The Things I Don’t Want To Do?
October 9, 2022
Hello Kingdom Family,
Today we continue our message series “Romans: I Am Not Ashamed Of The Gospel.” Our message today is titled “Why Do I Do The Things I Don’t Want To Do?” We unpack Romans 7:7-25 and discover an answer to this question. We learn God’s will requires our participation and how the agency of sin continues to plague us even after surrendering our lives to God.
Thank you for supporting Hill-Tran Ministries.
Shalom,
Team Hill-Tran

Thank you for joining us today for our message titled “A Vital Sixth Sense: Experiencing A Life Of Freedom,” which is apart of our fall message series “Finding God In Popular Culture.” Today Pastor Harold unpacks Galatians 5:13-26, helping us discover what it means to develop this vital sixth sense, which is necessary for living a life of freedom. He first shows how we can find God in popular culture during the 1990s. He gives us real examples in TV, Music, and Film. The links to those videos and illustrations are below in the show notes. They were excluded from the recordings for copyright reasons. The main takeaway that Pastor Harold wants us to absorb is that by God’s grace, we were given the gift of the Holy Spirit to help manifest in each of us the gifts that God uniquely gave to each one of us. We will never be able to produce spiritual fruit in our lives without the Holy Spirit. If we fail to commit to living a life of freedom, we will never experience the kingdom of God.

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.
