You’ll discover that God has a plan that is perfect for your life because it is Christ living in you. As we realize that our lives are about “letting Jesus be Jesus in us,” we find that the challenge is not meeting a list of rules, but walking step by step in the power of Christ.

3. Addicted to Sin

In this program, Dr. Wayne Barber shares that every Christian continues to face temptation, yet also lives with Christ’s power to face and overcome sin.

6. Down Home With Jesus
