Welcome to First Assembly, a relevant, exciting church striving to be living proof of an empty tomb. Our mission is to serve, serve the Lord Jesus Christ, His church and those searching for the meaning and purpose of life. You are cordially invited to celebrate with us the victory made possible through the cross as we defend the truth together and provoke this world to jealously.

Praise Your Way Out

        Have you ever been in a jam, a fix, between a rock and a hard place, or in some other precarious position in life? Of course you have and if the Lord tarries there will be more jams, fixes, and hard places to deal with. During these tough and unpleasant times what we should do is not always what we do. Paul faced up to it in Romans 7, he wanted to do right but he ended up doing wrong, what he didn’t want to do is exactly what he did. Did you get that? The war between flesh and spirit must be fought everyday and it must be won everyday. Galatians 5 clues us in on something, the flesh and spirit are at war inside of us and we choose the victor because we make the choice. The remedy for believers in these hard times is as follows and requires giving the spirit man the freedom to do its job.  If it’s personal sin that has caused the dilemma then repent and praise your way out. If it’s an attack of the enemy then exercise your authority in Jesus, resist the Devil, and praise your way out. If living life in a sin sick world is the culprit, then praise your way out because you already know that attached to every problem is a miracle blessing. Praise and praising our way out of the jams, fixes and hard places of life is essential in becoming an overcomer. We have been destined to win, but we must each make the choice, most of the time that choice is to praise your way out.
