Blessings, Authority, & Submission
The blessings of walking in authority are powerful. It is not an archaic idea from God’s Word, but a daily freshness can come by rediscovering how God uses authority.

The Life Changing Power of True Repentance
Repent! In our modern western Christianity this word is often treated like it is profanity and yet the Prophets, John the Baptist, Jesus, and the early church all preached repentance with believing the Gospel.

Bold Strategies for Addiction: Harm Reduction or Resurrection Power?!
Today we discuss bold strategies for those who are bound by addiction. The drug epidemic headlines tout “Harm Reduction” for those addicted as an answer. This is a type of “comfort care” until their “hopeless” addiction takes its ultimate toll. The Word of God provides a much better solution for those in the depths of addiction: the resurrection power of Christ. Jesus still sets the captives free and at Outreach Ministries of Alabama (and many other Christ Centered programs) we can produce so many stories of men and women who have conquered addiction by His mighty power!

Excelling in the Ordinary

Enabling Vs Empowering part 2
Most of us who enable addicts do so unwittingly, and for different reasons. It’s hard to understand that enabling them in their addiction is simply prolonging the lifestyle of the addict. We may think we’re helping them and that we do what we do out of love. In this powerful follow up to last week’s episode, Ken Pounders expounds on what true love when dealing with an addict looks like. We may be surprised that our “loving” them isn’t really helping them at all.

We may be surprised that our “loving” them isn’t really helping them at all.
