Anxiety....Fear...Discouragement...Depression....There is a real battle that is being fought on the battlefield of our minds.

Why do I feel broken? Why can't I just get out of this slump? No one will understand what I'm going through.

Before we can begin to address the weapons that our enemy uses to attack our minds, we have to acknowledge that the battle is real. This part concludes with a very practical truth...our thoughts control our emotions which control our behavior. Become a gate-keeper for your mind and you will be able to control your emotions and bring them in line with the Truth of Scripture.

Discouragement is real. In fact, you may not even know it but you are infected with the disease of discouragement...though it hasn't shown any outward symptoms yet. Listen in as we walk through Numbers 11 and see the symptoms, diagnosis, and cure for discouragement though the lives of the Israelite and Moses.

Christ was tempted in all points as we are...and yet without sin. The temptation of Christ stands as an incredible blueprint for us to follow when tempted to sin. Jesus was tempted in the same there areas we are tempted: lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. What were the circumstances surrounding his temptation? We find that Satan often uses the same playbook on us...and by following Christ's example, we can be prepared to defeat Satan and the temptations of our flesh!

God's Word declares that there will be a day that all those that have rejected Christ will stand and be judged. This Great White Throne will be a time of eternal sentencing...the unsaved will be cast into an eternal punishment that is terrible beyond imagination. The good news is that God has given mankind a way to be reconciled to him...to be brought back into fellowship with the Father. What will you do with Jesus?

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God....and it is powerful to bring about change in our lives. Listen in as Evangelist Ron DeGarde challenges Needhams Grove Baptist Church to have open hearts for personal revival.

Often we think that revival is something special..something that God has only done a few times in history to special people. The reality is that "revival" simply means to a return back to normal. God reveals four things that steal our hearts away from revival...and then tells us how to return back to a hear that is set toward God!

In this final chapter of Abraham's life, we see a picture of life abundant..filled with blessings from God! While he did have six more sons in this later stage of life, Abraham never takes his eyes off the significance of Isaac as the son of promise. God fulfilled all he had promised Abraham in his life, though he never saw with his own eyes. His was truly a journey of faith!

It is so easy for us to get our eyes off of the Savior and place them on ourselves....the disciples faced that same problem when they failed to cast out the demon in Mark 9. Jesus rebukes them for their lack of faith. In doing so he teaches us an important lesson. God is not limited by our imperfect faith, but demands humble faith!

There is a cost to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. In Mark 8:34-38, Jesus turns to his disciples...and the multitudes...and lays out this simple truth: it will cost much to be a true disciple of Jesus. It takes denial of self. It requires a willingness to bear the cross of persecution. It demands obedience. Listen in as Stephen Snipes (on staff at Needhams Grove) unfolds Christ's words and challenges us to be disciples of Christ!

After Sarah's death, Abraham now sets his eyes on finding a wife for Isaac. Consider this...the father, seeking a bride for the son of promise, sends out a servant to find the one willing to become part of the family. God the father, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit and willing believers, invites those outside the family to be the bride for his only begotten Son. This passage demonstrates for us the 5 steps that take place when we invite unbelievers to join the family of God. You will be blessed by this study!
