In this episode we explore the spiritual reality that human beings cannot clean themselves, this means that it is God who is in complete control.

In this second episode of the Ezekiel series we discuss the source of God's will to save hopeless sinners. While many would immediately point to His love, mercy, and forgiveness the book of Ezekiel offers us greater clarity.

In this episode we explain why we have decided to change the name of our youtube channel. What was formally known as Sit Down and Listen began in the year 2019 during a time of global crisis.

The fear of man is what stagnates genuine Christian growth and true gospel proclamation. The Scriptures call us to war against these inclinations to seek the approval of others, and rather pursue the approval of the one who created us…
En este episodio de Sit Down and Listen (Siéntate Y Escucha) hablaremos sobre una porción de las Escrituras que comunica verdades espirituales sobre la gloriosa encarnación de Cristo, la nueva posición del creyente ante Dios.

Una de las últimas cosas que el Señor ordenó fue que predicáramos él evangelio. En los cuatro evangelios el Señor nos deja la “Gran Comisión” que es que prediquemos el evangelio a todos. El evangelio se trata completamente de nuestro salvador prometido. El mensaje es de redencion y completa entrega a Dios.
In this episode of Sit Down and Listen we take a closer look at an essential aspect of salvation; regeneration, the divine miracle that the Spirit of God operates in a dead, hardened, and rebellious sinner. Salvation works to transform the sinner into a new creation, with hearts that are quick to do His will and please Him.
There has always been a debate throughout the history of the church about God's absolute control over human affairs and history, particularly when a guilty sinner comes to faith in Jesus.

We'll be…
