God's Vision for My Life
What happens when your plan for your life collides with God's plan/vision for your life? Someone must prevail, there cannot be two opposing visions living in harmony. In this amazing book of Nehemiah God will teach us to submit our plans and our lives to his vision for our lives. The process of submitting involves a lot of prayer and is harder than it sounds. May the Lord reveal his vision for us and may we respond to it appropriately.

God's Battle Plan
As we move from Basic Training to combat techniques we learn no matter what our condition or what we have done we can get up and fight. The just man falleth seven times but riseth up again. Basic battle for spiritual warfare. It is a strategy resting upon understanding the purposes of our warfare and based upon communication with our Commander-in-Chief by prayer, fasting, and the written Word of God. When you do not understand God's purpose and plan, you may be tempted to become discouraged in the conflicts of life. This is why many Christian soldiers fail in warfare: They do not understand the divine purpose behind the battle.

Freedom-Faith Relationships - Galatians #13
What makes the Christian faith like no other? The good news of God’s grace is the bold claim that we are accepted by God not because we “follow the rules” or “fit the mold” but because Jesus gave his own life to rescue us. But many of us are still trying to earn God’s love with our performance rather than living in the freedom that Jesus has provided for us. In Galatians, Paul warns against the danger of religious systems that value people on grounds of accomplishment or status or cultural agreement. These things lock away our freedom in the futility of legalism, moral superiority and cultural arrogance. Focusing on either the racial/ethnic/cultural superiority or the moral successes of good works denies the gospel and divides Jesus’ followers. Join us as we explore how God offers us true freedom in Jesus and how the freedom of Christ transforms our hearts, our minds and lives.
