The Armor of God: An Introduction
This is the start of a series of messages on the Armor of God. In this introduction we answer the question as to why we need the Armor. We have a real spiritual adversary and spiritual battle to fight. We need God’s armor, and we need to stand our ground.
The Holy Spirit and the Early Church
As people of the Spirit we all love to have, and desire to have, the church service where the Holy Spirit comes in such a way that is shakes the building. (Acts 4) But that shaking visitation had a purpose. The service itself was not the point. The being filled with boldness to speak His word was. We need to get back to the fundamental idea that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is to make us a witness!
Encouragement
Encouragement of the Body of Christ is one of the primary reasons why the Church gathers. It’s needed even more as the day approaches according to Hebrews 10. Every time the saints gather, encouragement must happen.
Repentance
Repentance is not a dirty word! Let the church return to repentance and turning our hearts back to Him that we may call the world to turn theirs as well!
