Pastor Al teaches that Christianity is simple but often misunderstood due to tradition and “miseducation,” challenging phrases like “die to yourself,” “all of You and none of me,” and “He must increase and I must decrease.” Using scriptures such as Romans 6, Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 2:6, and 1 John 4:17, he shares that believers are already crucified with Christ, dead to sin and the law, and are a new creation in their spirit with God’s nature and the Holy Spirit within. He clarifies “I die daily” refers to Paul facing danger, not self-denial. The focus is renewing the mind to match the new identity, illustrated by metamorphosis, with simple steps: remember who you are in Christ, enjoy life, repeat.

In this episode of the “Chilling with God” series, Pastor Al contrasts religious striving with the new covenant of grace, teaching that believers are not under the law (including the Ten Commandments) but are dead to it through Christ. He explains that the law is holy and still exists, yet its purpose is to act as a tutor to lead people to Christ. He shares that seeking trying to keep the law makes Christ ineffective, while grace leads to fruitfulness and Spirit-led living. He addresses the consequences of disobedience under the Old Covenant vs. the New Covenant.

Pastor Al teaches that Jesus’ death and resurrection are one package and shares that many churches still mix the old and new covenants by urging believers to keep the Ten Commandments, despite the full law totaling 613 commands and James 2:10 stating failure in one point makes one guilty of all. Citing John 19:30, he says “It is finished” means the law ended at Jesus’ death, and uses Hebrews 9 to argue the New Testament (a “will/testament”) begins at death, not Jesus’ birth. He shares that preaching the law is harmful because “the power/strength of sin is the law” (1 Cor. 15:56) and the law increases trespass, while the new covenant brings transformation, not behavior modification. He shares that justification is by faith apart from the law (Acts 13:39; Rom. 3:28; Gal. 2:16; 3:11), warns reliance on law brings a curse, critiques manmade rules (Col. 2:20–23), and that the Bible calls the Ten Commandments a “ministry of death” and “condemnation” (2 Cor. 3), concluding freedom from sin comes apart from the law (Rom. 7:8).

Pastor Al teaches from Mark 11:24 that believers should ask once in prayer, then thank God because faith believes it is done. He shares from Romans 14:23 and the wilderness story that unbelief is sin—linking sin, rebellion, disobedience, and an “evil report” to refusing God’s promise. He emphasizes that Jesus’ cross was “one and done,” forgiving sins for all time, and claims 1 John 1:9 is addressed to unbelievers, not Christians.. He warns that asking God to forgive again is unbelief. The message contrasts old-covenant law mentality (earning approval) with new-covenant grace, citing Hebrews, 2 Corinthians 5:19, and Ephesians to say sins are not counted, the Holy Spirit will not leave you, the law brings death/condemnation, and believers are freed and justified through Jesus.
