We continued our series titled, "Suit Up! Donning the Full Armor of God." In this third message, Tom explored what Paul had in mind when he described the "breastplate of righteousness."

In the second message of our “Suit Up!” series based on the armor of God passage of Ephesians 6, we explored what Paul meant when he described the “belt of truth.”

On Sunday, we kicked off a new series reflecting on the full armor of God which Paul described in Ephesians 6. In this first message we discuss the reason we must don the armor in the first place.

We concluded our study and reflection on Jesus’ famous prayer in John 17. In the final section, Jesus’ focus turned toward future believers and the world they will reach with the gospel.

We continue our study and reflection on Jesus’ famous prayer in John 17. in this section, Jesus’ focus transitions to His disciples and the mission to which He is sending them.

Prayer was a cornerstone to Jesus’ ministry. We’re told he often withdrew to private places to commune with God. As followers of Jesus, we too strive to be people of prayer. What better way to grow closer to our Heavenly Father in prayer than to reflect on the prayer language of Jesus, Himself?

The Book of Judges is a collection of repetitive and ever worsening stories of Israel as a young nation. It’s easy to read these stories and criticize Israel for their seemingly endless excuses, but we’re no different. As we kick off this new series, we do so while seeing just how much our lives reflect the “dumpster fire” we find in the biblical text and the ways in qhich God repeatedly restores despite our repeated faults.

Forgiveness is a foundation issue within the Christian faith. Jesus, in particular, had a lot to say on the matter. But one thing you’ll never hear Him say is to “forgive & forget.” That’s not only non-biblical, it’s more or less impossible…

They say, “God helps those who help themselves,” but what about the truly “helpless?”

We use this phrase to console ourselves and others when things don’t go as planned. We’ve heard it so often, many are convinced it’s biblical. It’s not. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth some reflection!
