Rob begins a new sermon series on a type of warfare that's been going on since near the beginning of time but is rarely given the attention it deserves. This war does not require physical training but instead, spiritual training. The outcome of this spiritual warfare affects the very destiny of men's souls.

RUF Campus Minister at SMU James Madden shares with us a very important and pertinent message from 1 John 2, encouraging us to turn from the desires of the flesh and turn to Christ.

Casa del Lago Executive Director Josh Geiger looks at Genesis 22 to show us how God's promises extend beyond the grave and that through his tests and because of his love for us he crafts a deep faith in us.

In the final chapter of Acts, we are given an answer to the age old question, "What is the meaning of life?" Paul centers on this question and shows us that our identity and purpose is found in Christ Jesus.

In looking at Paul's defense before Governor Felix in Acts 24, Rob reminds us of Peter's exhortation to believers to always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks for a reason for the hope that is in you.

From Acts 20, we see how greatly the church needs its church leaders as shepherds. Rob walks us through the second half of the chapter, encouraging us to stay under the shepherds, to stay with the flock, to stay in God's Word, and to rest in His grace.

Humility, hunger and smarts are three important characteristics that we oftentimes see in leaders and team-players. These characteristics are on display in Acts 18 and 19, particularly in the interaction between Priscilla and Aquila and the teacher Apollos.

From Acts 17, we see that the apostle Paul's motive, method, and message were all rooted in love as he proclaimed the Gospel in Athens.

When proclaiming the Gospel, Paul and Silas reasoned with people from the scriptures rather than trying to manipulate them to believe. Because the Gospel is rooted in fact, we can approach it with receptivity and critical questioning to see that God's Word fully engages every aspect of our being.

From Acts 16 we see three very different people are all led to Christ in three very different ways, illustrating that the Gospel is indeed for all sorts of people in all sorts of places.
