Freedom from sin and its consequences is the inheritance of Christians, yet few take hold of it. False doctrine and disobedience to God’s commandments distort our understanding of Him and trap us in cycles of struggle. True transformation and lasting freedom from sin can only be realized when one’s spiritual body is retrained.

In this message, “The Body of Sin – Part 1,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter highlights the vital role of doctrine, showing that what we believe shapes our perception of God and influences our life experiences. He explains the nature of the human mind and body and describes the “body of sin” as an ingrained spiritual structure, formed through repeatedly giving ourselves to false beliefs and evil actions, thus making sinful patterns feel natural and self-perpetuating. He concludes by demonstrating that, through obedience to sound doctrine and the consistent practice of it, this inner structure can be retrained, allowing a renewed spiritual body to form—one that aligns with God’s divine purpose.

This message is a call to intentional transformation: embracing truth and obedience so that freedom from sin and its consequences becomes a living reality.

Key Scriptures: Romans 7:18-8:11(KJV)

11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Romans 6:6 (KJV)

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

As believers, the Word of God (doctrine) is constantly presented to us, yet we often receive and respond to it in ways that hinder us from experiencing its promise. Do we esteem doctrine as God’s personal visitation to us or as a mere casual encounter with truth? The way we value and respond to doctrine ultimately determines the depth of its work and impact in our lives.

In this message titled “The Coming of the Lord”, Elder Ato Tabbicca explores our relationship with doctrine and its role in preparing us for the Lord’s coming. He clarifies the true meaning of the Israelites’ pilgrimage feasts, establishing that the coming of the Lord is an inward experience. He explains the purpose of doctrine as both prophet and trainer, warning against disregarding it when presented with it. Highlighting why we often perceive only the outward knowledge of doctrine thereby missing its Spirit, he reveals the promise of doctrine and how it works in us when diligently followed. Finally, he emphasises the need to highly esteem and obey doctrine, urging all to follow it wholeheartedly to experience the depths of its sure promise.

May this message empower you to recognize the need to esteem and obey doctrine, preparing you for an inward experience of the Lord as He comes to you in His Word.

Key Scriptures: Exodus 23:17 (KJV)

17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God.

Hebrews 12:25 (KJV)

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

Hebrews 12:28 (KJV)

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Surrendering to God means trusting Him rather than trying to control outcomes or earn merit. When we yield to Him, we experience inner transformation, lasting peace, and the grace that brings genuine change.

In this message, “Surrender Through Obedience” Pastor Jeffrey Walter highlights humanity’s deepest struggle: the tendency to remain in control of our own lives. He clarifies that surrender is neither passivity nor an attempt to earn God’s favour, but a choice to live from Him rather than from self-effort. Furthermore, he teaches that when practiced with the right motive, obedience becomes the means by which believers yield their will (i.e. surrender) to God. This leads to an experience of grace in which God’s work produces true spiritual transformation and peace.

As you listen to this message, may the Lord help you surrender fully to Him.

Key Scripture: Luke 10:38-42 (KJV)

38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
