In our warfare against the wiles of the devil, it is vitally important that we put on the whole armor of God to protect us against Satan’s attacks. We consider together the 7 pieces of the armor of God that are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds and protect us against the fiery darts of the wicked one.

From November 2022 to August 2025 on Wednesday nights, Pastor David preached through the Gospel of John. This unique gospel account declares for us the deity of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and calls upon us to believe in Christ to lay hold of the fullness of the abundant life.
In introducing the Gospel of John, we also considered a topical survey of 1st John which presents similar major themes as John’s gospel. Sermons from 1st John can be found here.
In conclusion of the gospel of John, we see a statement that if everything that Jesus did just in his 3.5 year ministry would have been written down, the whole world could not contain it. We meditate together on just the glory and works of God that are truly beyond our comprehension and if they would be properly described, the world could not even contain a proper rendering of the glory of Christ!

In this world, it is so easy to let the weight and cares of life bring down our spiritual gaze to view life under the sun as vanity and vexation of spirit. We have a lively, living hope in Christ because we have a living, resurrected Savior, but sometimes our hope gets dim and weak, or maybe even gone. If so, we need to pray for God to revive our lively hope to be able to conquer the challenges of life and soar with wings as eagles over the tribulations of this world!

As we look at some examples of pits that were dug in fear instead of trusting God, we see that pits dug in fear for the wrong reasons will always inevitably be filled with sin, if not in our lives, it may not be filled with sin until generations later. Let us be purposeful to not be reactionary and not let fear dictate our actions instead of faith, and not dig pits in fear that can be a danger us and others to fall into.

While Romans 10 is commonly used as an invitation for people to believe to be born again, a close examination of the text shows the intended audience are children of God who already have the word of faith in their heart. Rather than believing to be saved to heaven, the already born again children of God are called to confess publicly the testimony of the word of faith already in their heart.

Matt. 11:28-30 – “[28] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Psalm 25:12-13 – “[12] What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. [13] His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.”
Isaiah 26:3 – “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
In this world that is filled with tribulation, there is nothing God’s children crave more than to feel rest in our souls, for our souls to dwell at ease, and to walk in perfect peace with our Lord. In these three verses, we find Christ’s formula to produce that peace and rest for our souls. While our lives might not necessarily be at rest, we can still have rest, ease, and peace in our souls in the midst of a chaotic world and life.
For those who are laboring and heavy laden, if you: 1) come unto Christ, 2) take Christ’s yoke upon you, 3) learn of Christ, 4) walk in the fear of God, 5) have your mind stayed on Christ, and 6) walk in faith and trust in Christ.
Then, God promises that: 1) you will find rest unto your soul, 2) God will teach you his way, 3) your soul will dwell at ease, 4) your seed shall inherit the earth, and 5) you will be kept in perfect peace.
While waiting after Jesus’ resurrection, Peter leads a band of disciples to go fishing where Jesus blesses them with an amazing catch. Jesus then allows Peter to confess his love to him three times, to begin the healing process for the three denials just a few weeks before. While Peter is hesitant to commit to anything other than brotherly love, Jesus told him he would later fully give up his life for the cause of Christ.
