"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. " Eph. 6:11-12

"We've come this far by faith

Leaning on the Lord

Trusting in His holy word

He's never failed us yet

He never will

Oh, we can't turn back

We've come this far by faith

We've come this far by faith

Just remember the good things God has done

Things that seemed so impossible

We praise Him for the victories He has won"

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us. The eager expectation of the creation waits for the appearance of the sons of God.

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but by the will of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the glorious freedom of the children of God. Romans 8:18-21

"Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He is with you, and works in you. Strive in prayer; let faith fill your heart-so will you be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might." - Andrew Murray, Preacher

Peter was asleep in prison the night before his trial. What is your prison and how do you respond to it? How confident are you that God will deal with your persecutors? Listen to this engaging message of a personal testimony of how God freed Sis Thamar and her decision to walk in obedience to His will

Absolute surrender and obedience is what the Lord not only desires for us, but demands from us. Not repeated and ritualistic sacrifices that lead nowhere. Be chastened and challenged to move up to a higher plain , knowing that though we will be persecuted for Christ's sake, "the hotter the battle, the sweeter the victory."

The Holy Spirit makes all the difference in the life of any truly passionate follower of Christ. Join us as today's preacher expounds Acts of the Apostles and the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believers of the early Church.

In this message, we are given a new perspective on the Christmas Story. We are given a more intimate look into the mind of God as He masterfully orchestrated the birth of the Messiah to ensure that all events came to pass as He foretold it through His prophets thousands of years before. It is in this very same way that He moves and aligns every aspect of our lives to align with His will. Our job is to trust His process as He takes us through.

Mary played a very important role in the story of Advent. From Mary, we learn to surrender to God's will in all things. From Mary, we learn to trust even when all hope seems gone. From Mary, we learn to love Christ her Son, who is our King, the Son of God. Let us allow these lessons to be renewed within us through this word.
