One of the biggest deceptions ever put over on mankind is the idea that
religion is the answer to our spiritual need. Religion is a counterfeit of
authentic faith in Jesus Christ. It is the way people try to make themselves
acceptable by doing moral works that they imagine God expects of them.
In this series of teachings, Steve McVey tears the mask off religion
and shows how that Jesus Christ didn’t come to help us be more religious. He
came to deliver us from both sin and religion so that we might know and enjoy
intimacy with God. If you’ve tried to do your best to please God, if you’ve
been an example of what a churchman ought to look like, if you’ve dedicated
and rededicated yourself to God but seem to still miss the mark – this series
of teaching offers the help you’ve been seeking. Session topics include:
The Seed of Satan
In this teaching you will discover the origin of religion and see the
biblical evidence that Jesus didn’t come to start a new religion. The world
had religion before He arrived in Bethlehem. Religion started in the garden
of Eden with the fall of man and ever since then unsuspecting people have
become victims of its enticing power. You’ll learn how it all started here.
Religion's Greatest Lie
The reason religion is so dangerous is because the lies it tells sound
so convincing to the moral mind. In this teaching you will recognize the
greatest lie told by religion and may realize how you have fallen victim to
its lure. You’ll learn how to get free from the condemning voice of religion
and how to walk in the peace and joy of God’s grace.
A Bitter Fruit Called Judgmentalism Part 1
This teaching examines the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and shows
how that living from that tree causes us to set ourselves up as God in the
practice of judging other people. You will see here how it is religion
judgment that separates us from those who need most to know and experience
God’s love.
A Bitter Fruit Called Judgmentalism Part 2
Judgmentalism is the
most prominent mark of a religious mindset. Those who are religious spend
their lives judging themselves and others and never understand the peace that
comes through acceptance motivated by love. This study will give you the key
to breaking free from the habit of making life a test for yourself and others
and will equip you to enter into the rest that can only come by living with
Christ as your life-source.

This teaching
series from Luke 15 may by a different perspective on the parable of the
prodigal son that you’ve ever heard until now. Steve McVey takes the
characters of this story to teach us about our Father’s unconditional
acceptance of us all, whether we have behaved as prodigal sons or pious sons.
Many believers
still struggle with guilt about past sins they have committed. You will find
freedom from that guilt as you hear the teaching here about the prodigal.
Others have felt proud of their consistent religious morality but wonder why
they don’t feel the sense of intimacy with their Father they long to know. In
the teaching of the older brother, they’ll discover the answer here. Session topics are:
The Story
In this first
teaching, you will discover how this most popular of all the parables Jesus
told speaks about each of our lives, regardless of whether our lifestyles
have been unrighteous or self-righteous. You’ll see yourself here and begin to understand how
your Father’s love and acceptance has nothing to do with how you’ve lived.
Grace To The Unrighteous
Many sons have
felt ashamed of the rebellious phase of their lives. Some wonder how they can
ever be free from feelings of guilt over sins they committed after they
became believers in Christ. This teaching presents the answer to that problem
by showing the Father’s grace toward wandering sons.
Grace To the Self-Righteous
Some people
grew up in church and never went to the far country. These are particularly
vulnerable toward thinking that their consistent religious lifestyle in some
way sets them apart from those brothers who have grossly sinned. This
teaching explains how we all need God’s grace and how that pride in our own
religious consistency can actually impede a sense of intimacy with our
Father.
Outrageous Grace
This final
session draws several contrasts between the grace of God and the legalistic
grading system religion calls on us to use to evaluate ourselves and others.
You’ll see here how you may have been focused more on earning the grade than
on receiving God’s grace. The final teaching in the series will equip you to
live free from religious struggles and to rest in the arms of a Father who
adores you just like you are.
