Sermon # 6 - What God Has Joined Together Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 18, 2025

Marriage is sacred and God-ordained. When a couple follow God’s blue-print for marriage, love and honor one another and set boundaries for the safety of their relationship, families become havens of love, support, health, peace, and abundance.

The Armor Of God 7 Of 8

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

The reason many of us like to study on the Armor of God is because Paul does not just tell us to run for the hills. He also tells us what we are to do once we get to the hills.

He tells us in this passage of scripture how we can DEFEND OURSELVES and how we can DEFEAT SATAN. One of the obvious problems it seems among Christians today is that they are not aware they are at war with Satan.

Delegation Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Nov 2, 2005

Jesus return is the motivation for remaining holy and blameless to be ready when he appears so we can join him, so we’re worthy of him. Paul’s prayer is that Jesus would provide the power to do it.

As we read this section of 1 Thessalonians we get a real sense of Paul’s love for the people he ministered to. There’s no sense of this being made up, no pretence. Rather it feels quite genuine. He really misses them. He’s distressed that he’s had to abandon them just as they were becoming a stable ...read more
