Can I Cry Out To Jesus If I Want to Serve Him More and Be Saved If I Still Feel a Desire to Sin? Also: If We are Sinning Until the Day We Die, How Can We Be Considered Overcomers?

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates will answer two questions–one about a desire to sin, “How can a person be saved and still have this desire?”; and one about committing sin, “How can a person be an Overcomer if sin is still a daily possibility and reality?” Prayer, church and the Word of God might seem like part of a canned answer to this question, but Bob and Ken give thoughtful answers about how these three entities work and how to use them to gain victorious, Spiritually-minded, Christ-like living.

Thanksgiving Day After Special Edition
, , , , , , , , ,
Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates continue thoughts from yesterday’s episode about thanksgiving. There is a vital theme in both the Old and New Testaments of remembrance. As Christians, we should have a store of great memories as we reflect on Christ’s redemptive work and on God’s past faithfulness. When it comes to things that cause grief, such as the death of a loved one, there is a difference in being thankful for something and being thankful in it. There is a connection between praising God and thanking God. Please join us for this episode!
Is Evangelism the Ultimate Purpose of the Christian Life or Maybe is it the Main Purpose of a Church?
, ,
Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates answer a question about purpose and evangelism. They say that evangelism is a purpose rather than the purpose of the Christian life. Despite it’s importance, evangelism is not the purpose of the local church. Evangelism should naturally be a part of daily living in our circles of living–friends, family, and influence– and not a legalistic block that you check off a checklist every day. Ultimately, we are to glorify God. Many things (and how we carry ourselves as we do them) can be ways to do this. Certainly, evangelism is one of them. Please join us on this episode.
