In this message, Pastor Brian reminds us that when we come to Christ, we are adopted into the family of God and are no longer cursed but blessed. God has blessed every believer with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus.

The book of Ephesians is laid out into two major divisions:

Theological (chapters 1-3) vs. Practical (chapters 4-6). In this message, Pastor Brian addresses where we find our identities? It is in who we know, what we do, what we have or what we have done? Or do we find our identity in Christ and Christ alone?

In this passage of scripture, James reminds believers of the dangers of straying away from the truth and our duties in not only bringing brothers and sisters in Christ who stray back into the fold, but also a warning for us to be mindful in our own lives. Falling away from Christ rarely happens all at once, but rather is a gradual departing from The Truth.

As Christ's disciples, we are called to pray for and with one another in all circumstances of our lives. When we are suffering, we should pray; when we are joyful, we should pray; when we are sick or weak, we should invite others to pray for and with us. In all things, pray.

It is essential that Christians make every effort to protect their integrity in all circumstances. In this message, Pastor Brian discusses why we feel the need to lie, why we make promises that we fail to keep, and how we can increase/rebuild our integrity.

In chapter 5, James reminds followers of Christ the importance of, commitment to and the motivation for patient endurance.

Chapter 5 of the book of James offers us insight on how we are to live regarding material possessions: Four great sins regarding wealth; a word of encouragement; implications for Christians with wealth, for the oppressed and for those who worship at the altar of materialism.

Three key points to remember when seeking God's Will for our lives:

I. Ignoring God's Will (vv. 13-14, 16)

II. Disobeying God's Will (v. 17)

III. Obeying God's Will (v. 15)

Why do churches and Christian homes often find themselves in the midst of conflict and struggles? How can we overcome such conflict to better love one another and honor Christ? In this message, Pastor Brian leads us to see that the conflict we experience with others often comes from conflict within ourselves and conflict with God.

How are we to respond to the supposed "blessings" of worldly people while godly people suffer? What desires should drive the life of a person who is knows and loves God? Guest speaker Josh Mordarski helps us wrestle with these answers through a study of Psalm 37.
