Our default in life determines our impact. If we have the right default, we will leave an amazing legacy. In Philippi, Paul made a difference by keeping the same default in every situation he faced. If we have the same default, we will be unstoppable for God.

Philip was called by God to take a journey into the desert. By the end of it, he had changed the course of a whole nation. What Philip did in the desert can help us understand how we can use our time and knowledge to help One person encounter Jesus. 

Satan means "accuser." He ignores our identity in Christ and defines us by our past. He accuses us to tear us down. But Jesus is our advocate. He defends us and speaks on our behalf. Jesus was the only Righteous one. Through him, we can find a new identity and safety from Satan's accusations. 

Everything good in your life is from God, and Satan wants to destroy it. Satan hates your physical existence and will do whatever he can to end you. But we are not defenseless against him. God has given us a weapon that will make us capable of withstanding whatever Satan tries to destroy.

Satan wants to be ruler of everything-- that is his motivation. The people of God are God's treasured possession, so we have a target on our back. Satan will use our weakness and our pride to destroy anything good that will happen in or through our lives. Our only hope is to remain rooted in Christ and humble before God. When we let God fight our battles, we will be victorious.

Satan is the Father of Lies. He twists and warps our understanding of reality. He attacks our trust in what God has said to bring confusion and death. On our own, we have no way to combat Satan's schemes. Only God's word can bring clarity and life. The Sword of the Spirit is our strongest weapon against Satan's deception.

When a powerful Jewish ruler came to Jesus in the night, he got way more than he bargained for. Instead of being impressed by this man's devotion, Jesus taught him and is what it really means to be a follower of Jesus. He calls us out of the night.

Sex is the central to life-and our sexuality is central to who we are. But our view of sex is often influenced more by our experiences than by God. If we want to be satisfied, we need to understand what God says.

Dating is crazy. But it doesn't have to be bad. The Bible doesn't tell you how to get a hot date, but it does give us direction about how to date well. God's way is the best way, especially in dating.
