Well, this morning, we will find in our study of Matthew two challenges on how to lavish Jesus’ love on others.

Church, as we look at our Scripture this morning, there is plenty of reason to worship, and as we continue our study in Matthew 17:1-8, I want you to see that there are four needs that Jesus meets which should drive us to worship with genuine enthusiasm.

So this morning, as we continue to study, and in our adventure of practicing Christ’s Presence, I want you to discover five habits that you must develop in order to be more like Christ.

So beginning this morning, I want you to find in our study of Scripture three questions that you must ask about living in God’s Presence.

The first objective of the spiritual warrior is to capture his mind for God, and that is what I want to help you to do today. I want to help you capture your mind for God and will offer you four things that will help you to do just that.

This morning, I want you to look at these next three pieces of spiritual armor so you can see how they are distinguished from the first three with the goal of becoming familiar with the armor that God has given you for the battle so you can learn how to use it.

This morning we’re going to learn to apply God's ongoing protection for daily living. To do this I want you to become familiar with the armor that God has given us for the battle and learn how to use it.

This morning, I want to you to look at this passage and learn how to stand strong in time of battle and find the same victory Jesus found over the enemy of our soul.

So as we begin this series, it’s important to know who the enemy really is if we are to be engaged in an Invisible War, so let me give you several things that will help you better familiarize yourself with the enemy of our souls. To do so we’re going to look at several passages of scripture this morning.

So as we look closer at this final parable of our series, once again permit me to break it down into four parts with the hope that you will see the significance of the Return of Christ.
