This sermon was 💯. Thank you for this powerful message, truth, and reminder. Lord, have mercy on us. God bless us, protect us, guide us, lead us. May we never stop praying for the salvation of others and never lose hope and stand firm in the faith. Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess Jesus Christ is Lord 🙏🏼☁️❤️

Many years ago, at a buffet style restaurant, I sat within sight of a preacher. He was very overweight, and in front of him was a huge salad, meat, pastas and dessert. Yet, it is the same person who preaches to the congregation about the sin of drugs, alcohol, etc. That’s when God revealed to me that not being able to control my eating was just as sinful as over indulging in other sins.

If you want the holiness as was from the beginning, then follow and live.by what God declared in Genesis 1:29: “Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for food.” Ask yourself, why Jesus stopped both the money changers but also freed the animals being sacrificed, it goes back to the beginning - to the perfection of the original creation! Did God tell us our food was animals? Look at your teeth, we have grinding teeth! Our canines would be useless to kill the animals we use for food! I know it is hard to think, but if we are human … then we can do it !😊 When we eat plants - all the diseases which plague us - just go away! BUT WHY? We are NOT CARNIVORES !!!

I disagree that God wouldn't remove the desire for unhealthy things we use to try to fill the God shape hole with. And I am proof that he does that I am an alcoholic I got sober in Vegas over 15 years ago long before I had a relationship with Jesus. I prayed in a motel room and the next day I haven't had a drink since. I mean I've done AA here and there but nothing serious in fact I've been in more emotional pain sober and I ever have been drunk and alcohol has never been even on the radar to solve any of my problems. so don't tell me God won't remove your desire for the unhealthy gluttonous behavior. Because I'm proof that He does.

BEST teaching I’ve heard on Gluttony. I’m out of control with eating sugar. Can’t stop. Already in bed for today, watching this video. I’ll watch again tomorrow and take notes. Thanks for speaking candidly on this ignored Sin!

What if each time you’ve put a lot of effort, things went very south? I almost died because of a strong headache when I was doing everything that scientists and the Bible say to be right, except, I wasn’t doing things with the Holy Spirit at all times. I did things without wanting to do them, a lot, because I believed it was the right thing to do. So yes, we must put effort, but with The Holy Spirit, because effort with the adversary leads to destruction. After many years I still haven’t found my balance, I wish I could do everything perfectly all the time, put effort all the time so to do everything as asked in the Bible, yet it seems I can’t. Prayers are welcome.

Nice try preacher but all Christ followers first and foremost is take the gospel to all nations making disciples and baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That is our calling the great commission. Unfortunately, I don’t think churches as a rule teach people how to do that and accomplish the great commission .

@GraceB33 ай бұрын

Hi tlcferguson -- Pastor Brooks would agree with you that our calling is the great commission. When he says "...glorify God by being disciples who make disciples" he would describe it as a restatement of the great commission.
