A distinguishing Christian belief is that humans are flawed by a bearing towards sinful desires. This fundamental belief changes how we think about problematic racial behaviour. We have deep desires that make us complicated. In this message we get a deep analyses of our problem with idolatry and also how to fix it.

Is racism just prejudice in the heart and mind? Or is it power to discriminate? And what does the Bible say about this? The way that one understands the problem of racism will determine the we approach the solution of anti-racism. In this instalment we engage this important topic.

What is the gospel? It may seem like a basic question that has very little top do with race. But that couldn't be further from the truth. For many people the gospel is a message about their personal renewal through justification by faith. That is the gospel. But what if it was more than this? What if your personal renewal was part of the renewal of all things? Whatever you believe about the gospel is so important. Because as is the seed of the gospel that you believe, so is the tree, and as is the tree so will be its fruit.

Does our approach to difficult topics like race matter? In this talk we explore the question how should we talk about race. So, often its not what we say but the way that we say it. And its hard to overstate the role of a mature approach to talking about race. Galatians 2 records a conversation between two leaders. And its teaches us that having the right attitude towards race is almost just as important as having the right content.

In this final installment in our Spiritual Warfare series we consider the Sword of the Spirit. This is an offensive piece of armor and absolute important for taking new ground.

We all face attack in our minds. That's why we need a helmet of salivation. in this installment we explore how to protect our minds with God's armor so that you can stand firm!

One of many things that happen when we become teenagers is that we begin to become aware of our imperfections. We try to cover these with clothes, friends, and fads. When we get older the coverings change to jobs and networks. But in the gospel we are given a breastplate of righteousness to cover us. In this message we explore this unique armor that we need for the fight.

There are some extreme jobs out there. Some people are game rangers who work with lions and hippos. Others fly helicopters are planes at dizzying heights. But somehow there's a way to normalize risk when you do something enough times. In this message Don who works for Go.Live.Dare shares about how we normalize risk when we step out and share the gospel.

Ephesians 6 tells us that we have an enemy who's trying to get us out of tune with God's truth. So, it's a no coincidence that the belt of truth is the first bit of armor that we're told to equip. In this message we explore what exactly the belt of truth is and how to use it.

Ignorance is bliss. Or so they say. But every time you get into a fight ignorant about your enemy will will result in pain & loss. Ephesians 6.10-13 describes an enemy that could be behind much of your pain and loss. And it gives us counter measures for the enemies schemes.
