In Exodus 17, we read that the Israelites were attacked by the Amalekites early in their journey through the wilderness--but God gave Israel victory over the Amalekites in a way that clearly demonstrated their dependence on His power. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies this account in Exodus to remind us that in our battles, we need to pray, to act in faith, and to have other believers with us in our fight.

After God delivered the nation of Israel from Egypt and led them across the Red Sea into the wilderness, the people faced serious challenges as they were alternately unable to locate water (Exodus 15 and 17) or food (Exodus 16). In today's message, Pastor John shows us how these trials were designed by God to test Israel for their good--but they responded by testing God out of their own bad nature. We are encouraged, by their example, to respond differently, and act in faith when we face difficulty.

Pastor Phil preaches from Ephesians 6:19-24, which gives instruction to the church on how to pray, when to pray, what to pray, and who to pray for. In light of these instructions, Pastor Phil encourages us to choose one practical thing we can change in our own prayer life.

Pastor Andy preaches from Ephesians 6 on living with the full armor of God.

In Ephesians 6:5-9, the Bible gives instruction for how slaves are to live out their faith in their work, and how masters are to live out their faith in their treatment of their slaves. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies the institution of slavery in the times of Rome, and the broader picture of the Bible's condemnation of slavery as a whole. With these things in mind, we consider the message that these verses can impart to us as workers and as bosses.

In today's message, Pastor Phil examines what it means to follow the command in Ephesians 5 for wives to submit to their husbands, and for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. When marriage isn't what we want it to be, we should focus on changing ourselves rather than seeking to change our spouse. And we should remember that the goal of marriage is to bring glory to God.

Ephesians 5:1-2 says "Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." We see in these verses a reminder that Jesus died for us, and that we are called by his example to walk in love. We can not earn our salvation, but the new life given to us by God compels us to live anew. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies the first 20 verses of Ephesians 5 to examine what that new life should look like.

In Ephesians 4:30, we are told not to grieve the Holy Spirit. But what does that mean? In today's message, Pastor John explores 5 questions related to this passage, and encourages us that we should grieve over sin along with the Holy Spirit, that there is still hope in Christ when we do grieve the Holy Spirit--and that to have the Holy Spirit requires faith in Jesus.

In today's message, Larry High studies the scriptures to examine both the reality and the limitation of Satan's power. We are reminded of the complete sovereignty and assured victory of God, and encouraged to take our stand in Jesus Christ.

Words are powerful! In today's message, Pastor Phil studies Ephesians 4:29 and James 3:1-12 for three commands we should consider when we choose to speak: 1.) to not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, 2.) to speak only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs and 3.) to speak only what is to the benefit of those who listen.
