Why the Local Church? (Ephesians 4:11-16)
In God's design, the local church is to serve as 1) a place to hear God's word preached and applied in a systematic way; 2) a place to put our commitment to God, and to one another, into practice; 3) a context for us to mature; 4) a place to discover and practice our ministry and spiritual gifts with perspective and leadership; 5) a protection from doctrinal error; 6) a place to demonstrate the gospel; and 7) a place to preserve and cultivate the fruit of the gospel.

Stewards of the Story in Our Silence
2 Timothy 1:3-12 Once we have fallen in love with the Gospel and shudder at the thought of His amazing grace, what then? Before we run after every unbeliever we know, we must learn to steward the story of the Gospel in Silence. Laboring, through the power of the Spirit, to build the inner components of spiritual character. Does your life, before you ever open your mouth to speak of Jesus, speak of Jesus? As stewards, we must carefully and diligently pay attention to our own lives so as to not obscure the story of God.

Psalm 41
In the media, we see role models scrutinized for breaches of integrity, from politicians to sports figures. What does it mean to be a person of integrity? People of integrity have character and consistency. And, as we see in the story of the rich, young ruler, sometimes Jesus gives us big challenges to test our integrity, radical requests to alter our life's course and follow his way.

2 Samuel 21:15-22 - Courage for Insurmountable Enemies
In the last half 2 Samuel 21 we find david gaining victory over 4 giant enemies. There is debate on whether the word "giant" is to be taken in its regualr sense as a big person, or as a god, but the evidence of the context would favor the first viewpoint. Another issue here is the identification of Goliath. Some see a corruption of the original text, but it is better to see this as a copies error which 1 Chronicles 20:5 correst and itentifies the giant as the "brother of Goliath." During battles David has grown weary and is not as stong physically as he use to be. His loyal leaders come to his aid and fight for him defeating all 4 giants. What we learn is that no what the physical ability of a man, he better not trash talk God people, because he will be silenced. We see the benefits of realistic humility, steadfast perseverance, proper praise, and developed character. The purpose of the passage is to elicit in you courage against insurmountable enemies as you live a persistent godly life that sustains you in the direction of God and his will.
