Text: Acts 4:1-33
We live in a world that is constantly trying to cancel the voice of those who do not go along with the crowd or bow to its pressure. As Christians, our primary message and mission is constantly opposed by the culture around us. Yet in Acts 4, God gives us a powerful illustration of how we can stand strong for Him, even when faced with opposition. If you desire to be a stronger witness for Jesus, we invite you to listen and be encouraged today.
Text: Ephesians 6:10-18
There is a spiritual battle that rages all around us. In our daily life we are called to stand firm in the face of this battle. God more than equips us in a very specific way to be able to do this victoriously. However, it requires daily effort on our part and a practice of constant prayer. We must understand that an underlying call of the Christian life is to undertake the battles we face with the knowledge we are already under a victory and strategically and spiritually must undergo putting on the armor of God so that we never underestimate the power of the enemy nor find ourselves unprepared to meet the struggles of life. In this we find ourselves firmly under the authority and protection of Christ where the enemy cannot undo us. The biggest take away of the Armor of God passage is to comprehend our spiritual battle and how we will be ready for it.
Text: Ephesians 5:6-21
In our lives we understand the importance of being filled physically with the things that lead to health and nourishment. Every day we seek to fill our bodies with the provisions it needs. However, spiritually, all Christians must understand that there is another constant “filling” needed in our life – the need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Without His control in our lives we will remain unhealthy, unnourished, and unprepared for the works He has called us to do.
Text: Romans 13:11-14
Everywhere in the world today, we are experiencing circumstances and challenges in an unprecedented way. To many it seems that the world has gone crazy. Yet, God in His Word has a specific call to believers, “It’s High Time!” This statement is a call to recognize the urgency of the moment and a call to strategic action. We begin today by discovering that “It’s High Time to Wake Up.” We hope that you will listen today and be called to action by and for the Lord.
