The real power of spiritual warfare lies - not with us, but with God. And the way to receive that empowerment is through prayer. Prayer is essential for spiritual warfare.

In this day and age, it's not that there's more sin in the world or more temptation than there's been before, but it seems today that that exposure level is higher. The war for us is to walk in the spirit and not in the flesh and to believe that what God has given us now is sufficient.

Our cultural focus on individual liberty brings not just occasional temptations, but in many cases ingrained patterns of spiritual destructive behavior. How do we stop the impulses that so powerfully war against us and our resolve to live a righteous life?

Here we see further how to stand strong in the Lord and how we can fight this formidable foe. Though, in order to fight we must walk by faith in Christ alone. Guest Speaker is Deacon Jason Skidmore

In Ephesians 6, we see that we are engaged in a spiritual warfare, and our enemy is very real. He is powerful and he is dangerous, and we would be wise to listen to what God has to say. Guest speaker is Deacon Doug Brubaker.

The gospel is the good news! Here we look at the essential elements of the gospel.

Here we see both how we become disciples of Christ and how we continue to live as disciples of Christ. In these verses, Luke lays out for us the basics of discipleship.

Seeing Jesus' authority gives us confidence in him. Seeing his authority will give us confidence that he is able to save us from our sins and care for us now.

Jesus preaches about his work as the Messiah and how he will bring the salvation of God to sinners. We see how Jesus viewed his own life and ministry and purpose. Here we see exactly what Jesus thought and taught about himself and what it meant for him to be the Messiah and how he would accomplish that great ministry.

Here will see Jesus venture out into the wilderness where there is not only wild animals lurking but an ancient foe who led the first man to bring sin and death into the world. Luke shows us that Christ is the perfect Savior for all people. Because of his saving work we are assured of victory on the last day, but more than that, we can have victory now over sin.
