Daffodils, red buds, robins. It’s that time of year when the whole earth seems to be coming back to life. Yet, some of us aren’t really living. This world is heavy with death. That’s why Jesus came. Don’t miss this chance to find out what it means to have life and have it in abundance!

Some of the hardest battles we fight in this life may not look like battles from the outside. Yet, in our minds and souls, we’re wrestling with doubts, fighting with what seems like injustice, pinning down our fears. For these battles, God has given us protection, as well as food, for our souls. Let’s learn together what the helmet of salvation and the sword of truth look like in day-to-day living.

Just have faith. Take a leap of faith. Act in good faith. We talk a lot about faith. But when it comes down to it, what is faith? And how do we live that out? This week, let’s look at how we pick up the shield of faith to fend off the fiery darts we read about in Ephesians.

The gospel helps us to understand how we can bridge our broken relationship with God. But there are other broken relationships in our lives where the gospel can make a difference. Let’s prepare by putting on the shoes, as part of the Armor of God.

When the person you thought was a friend spreads lies … when the world says your choices are fine, but something tells you it’s not … when you want to grow in your relationship with God, but you feel full of doubt … where do you turn for truth? Let’s see what Paul says about the belt and breastplate we are to put on, in order to stand for truth.

Some days are difficult, oppressive and depressing. How do we stand when we feel the world is pushing us down? How do we live in victory, when we feel totally defeated? In this new message series, we’ll see what it means to put on the full Armor of God and how it equips us for the battles we face in this life.
