Christian Armor: Faith and Peace
Paul uses the metaphor of shoes to refer to the solidity given by the good news of peace, and the confident trust in God will protect us from the lies and temptations of Satan as he tempts us to disbelieve God and seek happiness by disobeying His commands.

Listen
The book of James is about living your faith. It starts out telling us we have to live our faith in a world of conflict. It talks about the tests of faith and the temptations of life. It says you have to persevere when tested and tempted and not say that it is God tempting you. God is the Father of light and every good gift comes from him and he has given us birth through the word of truth. So be quick to listen and slow to anger because: In the struggles of life you will be tempted to get angry and to close off your heart, to talk at God and about God but what you need to do is listen to God. Ask God for wisdom and don't be double-minded. Listen to God and don't be angry. The only thing that can save you in the struggles of life is to listen to God.

Life Goes On
When things fall apart, what's your response? When a family implodes, a relationship ends, or a tragedy happens, how should we deal with it? The story of the aftermath of Isaac-Esau-Jacob-blessing fiasco has some lessons for us on this issue.

It Begins at Home - Matthew 24:42-44
Series: Preparing for What's Ahead (Part 7) The seventh sermon in the series, reveals one more sign to the seven signs of revival that were disclosed and explained in the previous sermon. The Church is weak and impotent in the United States because those professing to be followers of Christ are living as if commitment to Christ may be done as if it were a part-time job. To correct this condition, Christians must embrace and practice the awareness of Christ's "living presence." Pastor Terry lifts up and discusses the critical role of what he calls doing the "homework" of Christian commitment in order to be best prepared to meet the responsibilities of each day and the challenges that are coming in the difficult days ahead.

Disregard the Evidence
Do we see the beauty, mystery, and mercy with which God surrounds us—or only the problems in our lives? A folk proverb says, “90% of what a person sees lies behind the eyes.” It’s hard to see the big picture when our immediate problems consume us. And, even if we can’t change things, we want to understand them. Why do the wicked prosper and the innocent suffer? Why does a young mother get cancer? Why are people starving in some parts of the world, while others of us suffer the effects of overeating? Are some more deserving of life than others? Why? Why?

Learning to Love - 1 Corinthians 13 (Stand Alone)
Sometimes, we need to call timeout, huddle up as a team, step back from the moment and remember why we are here. This sermon is a reminder to keep first things first. What is the first thing? Love is. They are many important things that happen in the life of a church--programs, budgets, meetings, facilities. These things are important because they enable ministry, but they are not the main thing. The struggle for a church is to keep the main thing the main thing. If we allow secondary things to distract, divide or discourage us, we will not achieve the primary thing God has called us to do. In this sermon, we will look at 1 Corinthians 13 as we more fully learn to love.
