What is repentance? It is believing God for "crop failure" when we've sown bad seeds. In the seventh episode of "Holiness," Duane Sheriff teaches the unchanging law of sowing and reaping, explaining how our actions are like seeds that produce either good or bad harvests in our lives. This spiritual principle demonstrates how our actions are like seeds, yielding corruption or eternal life. This episode explores the interesting parallel between this spiritual law and natural laws, such as gravity and changing seasons, emphasizing its consistency and relevance in our daily lives. https://pastorduane.com/holiness/

Why is it important to live a holy life? In the sixth episode of "Holiness," Duane Sheriff challenges common misconceptions about holiness and presents a grace-based perspective on righteous living. Holiness is not about earning God's love or salvation but rather about living out our new nature in Christ, loving God and others, and preventing Satan from gaining influence in our lives. This episode connects love and holiness, referencing Romans 6, which teaches that we are dead to sin and alive in Christ. Our new identity encourages us to live differently—not out of obligation but as a natural expression of our transformed selves. Holiness becomes a natural outflow of God's love in our lives rather than a burdensome list of dos and don'ts.https://pastorduane.com/holiness/

In the fifth episode of "Holiness," Duane Sheriff explores the reasons why Christians are called to lead holy lives. John 14:15 states, "If you love me, keep my commandments." Holiness is not a burden or about earning God's love or salvation. Instead, it is a response to God's love and a reflection of our love for God and others. Duane addresses common misconceptions about holiness and provides a biblical perspective on why we should strive for holiness in our daily lives.https://pastorduane.com/holiness/

In the fourth episode of "Holiness," Duane Sheriff teaches that a transformation occurs when you accept Jesus. Your past sinful nature (old man) is crucified and buried, and you become a new creation. You receive a new identity that is righteous and truly holy. When you realize that your old self died with Jesus, you can overcome temptation and truly live in holiness. You are no longer a slave to sin but free to live in the newness of life! https://pastorduane.com/holiness/

In our spiritual journey, we often overlook the significance of the church. The church serves as a source of inspiration, revelation, and integration, which is essential for our faith, building community, and maintaining spiritual accountability. In "The Purpose Of Church," Duane Sheriff teaches that attending church isn't just a religious obligation, but a divine commandment and offers ten compelling reasons to be actively involved in a local church.The key scripture, Hebrews 10:24-25, reveals that the church is part of God's divine plan and emphasizes the importance of gathering together. Church is a place of inspiration, revelation, and transformation—a spiritual ecosystem where we're nurtured and equipped. Just as a plant needs to be firmly rooted to flourish, we too need to be 'planted' in a church to thrive in our faith. Attending church is not a burden, but as a blessing - a place where we're covered, protected, and prepared for the challenges of life.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.app.neoncrm.com/forms/reasons

In Genesis 1:26-27, God declares, "Let us make mankind in our image, according to our likeness." In part eight of "Your True Identity," Brother Duane explains that humanity's creation in God's image and likeness defines our true identity. This divine distinction separates humans from angels, animals, and all other forms of creation. Key features of God's image include dominion and authority, the distinction between male and female, sovereignty, creativity, and the concept of work. Two aspects that spark debate are judgment and justice. The ability to judge is a fundamental aspect of God's image in humanity. Jesus instructed in John 7:24 to "judge with righteous judgment" instead of judging based on outward appearance.Sin can damage and distort God's image in humans but it cannot eliminate it. We can either celebrate this image through righteousness in Christ or pervert it through sin. Today, many social movements that seek justice often commit injustices themselves, which distorts the image of God. Embrace "Your True Identity" and reflect God's restored image through Christ's righteousness.

In part seven of "Your True Identity," Brother Duane teaches that we were created in God's image and likeness and that this image is our true identity. Our real identity doesn't come from our feelings or personal views, but from our Creator God. Being made in God's image is what makes us human and gives us our true worth.The attributes of God's image in people encompass several key traits: the ability to rule and have dominion, being created as male and female, having sovereignty and free will, creativity, the power of words, and the capacity to judge. He stresses that while sin can distort and damage God's image in us, it cannot change or eradicate it. The image of Jesus is a perfect example of God manifesting His image in us.
