What does the Bible teach us about mental health, and how does God meet us when our minds are troubled? In this first message of a four-part series, we explore how God works in us through our struggles, renewing our minds and shaping us to become more like Jesus.

From 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24, we are reminded that God cares about every part of who we are: body, mind and spirit. Following Jesus does not mean we will never suffer, but we can be confident that God is with us and remains at work in us, even in our most difficult seasons.

When we struggle, we can learn to recognise the lies and replace them with the truth of God’s Word. We can bring our struggles honestly to God in prayer and learn to depend on his strength. As we turn our thoughts towards him, we can find the perfect peace he offers, whatever we may be facing.

In this second message of our four-part series on the armour of God, we continue exploring Ephesians 6:10–20, focusing on the shoes of the gospel of peace.

What do these shoes mean for our Christian lives? This message explores two key themes: protection and proclamation. God equips us to stand firm against evil, while the gospel of peace prepares us to share the good news of Jesus with others.

Paul’s words remind us that we need both readiness and urgency. Our faith is not something to keep to ourselves. We are challenged to be ready to speak about how Jesus has transformed our lives and to share our testimony with family and friends.

In this message, Sue Chastney begins a four-part series on the armour of God in Ephesians 6:10–20, exploring the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness.

We live in a world where truth can be manipulated and trust can be broken. Sue challenges us to become people who seek truth and speak truth, grounding our lives in God’s Word.

The message also explores righteousness as a gift from God through faith in Jesus, rather than something we can earn ourselves. As we guard our hearts and prepare for spiritual battle, we can learn to stand firm with God’s help.

Whether you have been hurt by deception, struggle to know what is true, or feel under spiritual attack, this message offers encouragement to trust God and stand firm in him.
