Paul writes in Ephesians 6:16 that in all circumstances we should take up the shield of faith. This sermon looks at why we need a shield and what that shield looks like in our lives.

The Bible shows us that there are blessing as well as challenges found in following Christ. This sermon explores the depth of Christ’s command to deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and follow him.

Jesus instructs us to abide in him. This sermon looks at three spiritual disciplines that will help us experience that abiding: solitude, the reading of Scripture, and reflecting on Scripture.

Three words from Christ are considered in this sermon: “Abide in me." What does it mean to abide in him and how important is it? John 15 is the text and this sermon looks at one of the disciplines we can practice to encourage this abiding in our lives.

Paul refers to the life of the believer as a race. We’re encouraged in the book of Hebrews to cast off whatever keeps us from running that race. What are the hurdles in our lives that keep us out of the race? This sermon focuses on those hurdles and the need to overcome them.

Going back to the day that we became a Christ follower, this sermon revisits what that meant and some things about that decision that maybe we didn’t fully understand. It looks at our position now “in Christ” and what the Word says about us surrendering our lives to Christ daily.
