July 07, 2025A Sword and a Shovel
Big Idea: The outside world is attacking Christianity. We have to live with a sword in one hand and a shovel in the other as we continue to build God’s church.

If Satan can’t make strides from outside the church, he moves inside.
A generous spirit is the most effective way to combat Satan.
