A Perfect Savior (The God-Man), pt. 1 (Matthew 4:1)
We have an adversary that prowls around like a roaring lion and seeks the destruction of our souls. He has as his ambition the ruin of every child of Adam, and particularly every Christian. And he driven by an intense hatred of the glory of God. He is a master at plying his trade of deception and his chief tool in his box is temptation. By this diabolical device he brought about the fall of our first parents and the ruin of countless billions of souls made to bear the image of God. No one in this room can stand before this enemy. You are not strong enough, smart enough, clever enough, or morally clear enough to stand before him - on your own. And, if you think you are: take heed, you have already fallen. If our first parents who had no natural sinful bent of heart and mind fell, how much more those who have only ever known life with a corrupt heart and fallen mind? No, only One man as ever stood on His own and defeated this ancient foe and that is the sinless and eternal Son of God, the God-Man Jesus Christ; and He did so on our behalf. In every area of life where we have failed, the spotless Lamb of God has prevailed and won the victory over sin, Satan, and death for all who belong to Him. (“Hallelujah what a Savior”). Jesus Christ proves Himself to be the sinless Savior who can be the acceptable sacrifice on behalf of His people. 3 Proofs that Jesus Christ is a Perfect Savior that we can Trust, Worship, and Serve with all our heart.

Courage Under Fire
If you ever watched a hockey game and your favourite team is down by one goal in the third period in game seven with one minute left, then you know how intense those 60 seconds can be. When a team is trying to make a comeback and they find themselves in that position they will do whatever it takes to beat their opponent - no risk is too great. John, in Revelation 12, describes a similar situation (ok, the analogy breaks down - just humour me please). John tells us that Satan is a defeated foe. The devil knows his time is very limited (he's in the last minute of the game) and as a result he's pulling out all the stops. He is not only raging mad - but he will do whatever it takes to try and beat down and destroy those who are on his opponent's team. John wants us to have courage under fire. He wants us to remain obedient and faithful knowing that Satan's time to destroy is short and through the blood of Jesus Christ we will overcome. Key Passage: Revelation 12

Fighting from Victory
We are at war! No, not with Iraq, not with human terrorists. We are at war with spiritual forces, angelic terrorists. If we would fight the good fight we must be properly equiped. In this sermon we learn about the weapons of our warfare for this fight.

It is TIme to be Scared
The course of all temptations that we face is to rob us of God's plan for our lives. The devil tried to stop Jesus from fulfilling God's divine purpose and he will attempt to do the same with you.

The Devil and our Pride
"All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 5:5-11

Mere Christianity
Part 5. The conclusion of this series, based on big ideas from CS Lewis’ book of the same name, deals with questions about the epic nature of God and his involvement in our lives. What difference does God’s three-in-oneness make to our lives and faith? Why should we believe Jesus’ claim that he was God? Why "the incarnation?" And what about Christ’s death on the cross? Faith in the true God makes our lives integral to his epic story.
