Galatians 5:16
If you have your Bible, please open to the book of Galatians chapter 5, as we look at this subject, "Who's on the Throne?"
In 2008, the powerful Christian movie called "Fireproof" was released to theaters. It was produced by Sherwood Pictures, which is an arm of Sherwood Baptist Church. Many of you have seen the movie, "Fireproof." It was in the top ten of all time Christian films in terms of its power at the box office.

Why is it so hard to not get bitter at someone who does something to you, who says something about you, someone who hurts you? Why is it so hard to live a victorious Christian life? That's our question. That's what we're going to look at today. And the Bible tells us the ans ...
