When the lame man called out to Peter and John for money, he didn't realize that his life was about to be changed. This miraculous healing story reveals what happens when we operate in the power of the Spirit and in obedience to Christ.

At times in life we are faced with feeling like we've lost something. When we look at our lives, it seems like we are a shell of who we were. Maybe this year has taken something out of you and left you wondering, “where did that other version of me go”? In today's sermon we look at the Bible and how it helps us overcome the longing to get back who we once were.

Giving and generosity are important principles in the Christian life. It's not giving to "get", but rather, giving to sow into the Kingdom of God. In this sermon from week 2 of our "It's a Wonderful Life" series, we look at the power of generosity in the Church. We may never know the impact of our giving, but we can trust that God will multiply everything with give to Him!

One of the most challenging things in life is managing our own expectations. How we approach these expectations can often leave us in disappointment. In the Bible though, we find hope beyond the unmet expectations we have, which leads us to discover how truly wonderful life is.

Often in the church we create conflict between faith/grace and works. Today we look at the New Testament to help us understand the dynamic between our faith and our works. These two aspects of our christian walk reveal the true nature of our heart for Christ, and they prompt us into action for the Kingdom.

It's that part of our Ephesians Series as we talk about the final aspect of the Armor of God. What is the "Sword of the Spirit," and how does it help us? This piece of the armor is integral to our spiritual walk as we defend ourselves against the attacks of the enemy. With the full Armor of God, you'll be ready to face any attack and have victory each day. 

In one passage in the Old Testament, God is given a name that isn't found anywhere else in the Bible. When it feels like everything is going wrong in our lives and we question what God is doing, it's this name that reminds us of who He is. Where did the name originate? From Abraham's other wife, Hagar.

In 2 Samuel, King David is at the end of his life when he writes down his last words in a song. He ends his life as a worshipper and a pursuer of God. The lesson of David's life teaches us how worship should mark our own lives, and our dedication to Christ.

All of us face fear, but understanding the different areas fear affects us can be integral to finding freedom. As we conclude our series on Fear, we look at Seven Battlefields of Fear. We need to expose fear for what it truly is in order to find freedom and healing in Christ.

In our Christian walk we need to be on guard from losing the fire we have for Christ. Part of our focus should be on burning for the things of God. How do we do that? Why is stoking the fire so important? The example from a scripture in the Gospels can tell us more!
