What is spiritual warfare? Life is a battle. Whether that battle is simply physical or also spiritual is the question. Spirituality is a topic many people want to engage in but few people have a firm understanding. We are pretty sure something is out there, we just don't know what. Where do we turn for answers?

Why Jesus? Because Jesus Changes Everything. Jesus is the only God who has ever reached out his hand to you and me. Following Jesus is knowing and trusting the only God who truly knows us.

If Jesus changes Everything, then... ?

Why does a commitment to church matter? There will come a time in your church life where leaving is going to be easier than staying. How do we handle the challenges of church life? It is always easier to be right than to be helpful. Bearing with someone is a willingness to stick with them through their sin, mistakes, and offenses. Growth happens when we choose to stay through the tension. Growth is the result of a consistent commitment to progress. What next step do you need to take in your spiritual journey?

Generosity was a core value of the early church. It is the Biblical model that we support the churches, leaders, and pastors who invest spiritually in us. We give from the top of the stack not the bottom of the barrel. Generosity is a spiritual gift. We are all called to give sacrificially. Some of us are given the opportunity and privilege to give in ways others can't. Do I have to trust God or do I get to trust God? You will receive more from your giving than from your keeping. Our perspective changes when we rush to give someone else our best rather than keeping it for ourselves. We give because Jesus has given so generously to us.

Why do we sing? Singing is giving our breath back to God as a sacrifice. From the beginning, singing has been a part of worship to God. Singing connects us to other people and connects what we believe to what we remember. Worship is even more meaningful when we choose to worship through our pain.

Church can be a loaded word. Gathering was essential in the early church. If you are a follower of Jesus you are a part of the body of Christ. Why the church in the first place? Jesus established the church as his vehicle for the Gospel. Our Christian life would be richer if our understanding of the church was deeper. Why go to church? Because we get to worship a savior who has given us life and purpose. Reorient your Sunday morning around what you get to do and not what you have to do.

The early church was devoted to the teachings of the apostles. The church during the time of Acts was committed to fellowship and they observed communion by breaking bread with one another. The early church was also devoted to prayer.

God endorsed Jesus through miracles - the restoration of what was broken. How do we understand the arrival of the Holy Spirit today? In order to invite people to Jesus, we need to speak their language. Be the fire someone runs to, not the fire they run from.

How do we make decisions as followers of Jesus? Surround yourselves with the right people. The ability to make a good decision starts long before the decision needs to be made. Know what God has to say about your decision and pray. Does this decision help or hinder my ability to advance the Gospel?

The book of Acts is historical, missional, and evangelistic. We can get stuck hoping for what once was, what could be, or what we want. Jesus knows how to build His Kingdom better than we do. At some point our admiring has to become inspiring. Will you sit and admire or will you live inspired?
