Here at the Armory, from time to time, we need to do a Basic Functions Check. An inventory of the fundamentals of the life of the Believer is a good thing to reexamine every so often. This message covers the FIVE basic functions of the Believer.

This sermon illustrates how we have become indifferent to the lost, and the fact that they will spend eternity separated from God in a place that was never prepared for them….Hell. I strongly encourage all believers to listen to this message.

What if God is like a grizzly bear and we have turned Him into a teddy bear? Have we tamed God in order to make Him approachable on our own terms? This message is about recapturing the fierce, wild, and powerful aspect of God.

Are you stubborn? Hard headed? Are your children? This message from Missy Passmore is about God using that to do powerful things. “For the Lord GOD will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.” Isa. 50:7

This is one of my life messages. This sermon illustrates the point that you can be close in proximity to Jesus, but still have doubt, fear and lack of the deepest understanding of who He really is. That we would fulfill verse 40 from this story, “Did I not tell you that if you would believe, you would see the glory of God.”

We often understand the benefits and symbolism of getting water baptized, but why do we get baptized? Using the story of the Ethiopian Eunuch we answer the question of why.

The story of Moses sending out the 10 Spies and commanding them to “show yourselves courageous” and “get some of the fruit” is a word we all need to hear as we seek to lay hold of the promise in a strange land. May Joshua and Caleb’s courage encourage us.

In this second message using the analogy of an Arrow, I talk about arrows as children per Psalm 127. I strongly urge every parent of children that still live at home to listen to this message. “Like arrows in the hands of a skilled warrior are children born in ones youth.”

This message uses the example of how an arrow flies true to illustrate to us the importance of proper doctrine. We tend to fixate on one aspect of a particular doctrine, for example love or righteousness, and end up flying poorly and unable to hit the mark because we are not balanced in that doctrine.

Yadah, Halal, Shabach, Zamar, Todah, Barak, and Tehillah are all words translated in our English Bible from the Hebrew words into: “Praise”. This message describes the specific way each of those words was used in the scripture to “praise God”.
