"Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, 'My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.'"

When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He was struggling with that same knowledge, for not only was He to be crucified the next day, but He was also to bear the weight of all our sin!

Most of us can think of a time when we had a craving for something sweet... a cookie, ice cream, or a brownie. For some, this kind of craving can result in an internal battle. The flesh says yes, but the mind may be thinking of the ramifications and may want to say no. The same is true with the sin in our lives. The mind may understand that it's a bad thing to do, but the body may just react and sin out of habit or discouragement. In this message, Jill shares how we can combat sin and be holy.

As Christians, we can hit a "wall" that makes us feel stuck in our Christian walk. Although it's hard to push through it, when we do, we see a huge growth spurt. In this message, Jill explains how we can push through our "wall" to grow as a Christian. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1141/29
