Burden Sharing
Galatians 6:2
Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:5
For each one will bear his own load.
This message balances these two verses and the church’s call to burden sharing within the Body. If you are carrying a burden, or are helping someone else, listen to this message.
Scars
This message is about scars. Thomas’ story about touching Jesus’ scars ties the concept of scars to faith. This message seeks to rekindle faith again to believe that God has hope, joy and life for you and your future. The scars we are talking about are mainly the scars of the soulish realm, your mind, will and emotions. Jesus wants to touch those scared places of your life. If you or someone you know has gone through real trauma such as a divorce, death of a family member including suicide, tragedy, or abuse, please share this message with them.
Peter’s Call to Prepare
In this verse by verse teaching through several verses out of 1 Peter 1, Peter instructs the persecuted New Testament church to “prepare their minds for action”. As our world becomes increasingly hostile are we prepared to stay active for the gospel and be found faithful when He returns?
Basic Functions Check
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.
Heaven, Hell and a Fish
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.
Teddy Bear
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.
Face Like Flint
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
Lazarus
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.”
Why Baptism?
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.
10 Spies
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.
