We are exploring the truth that God has given us everything we need for the victorious Christian life, but we must wake up, suit up, and pray up!
We must utilize what God has already given us, heed the wake-up call in the Book of Romans, dress in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, learn to pray “effectually,” and work for unity among believers.
Explore this TruthWe are exploring the concept of God’s love making us one. “Whether you’re married or not, Pastor Rogers said, “you’re part of society, and society is not going to be any stronger than its homes.”
While we will primarily be talking about husbands and wives—their relationship and their roles in the family—there are numerous biblical examples of God’s love engendering close fellowship. God’s love made Ruth and Naomi one in their faithfulness to care for one another. That same love from and for God brought unity to the home of siblings Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, Jesus’ friends at Bethany. The Church as a whole relies on One Lord to make us one in brotherhood and mission. Just as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one, oneness is the divine design not just for marriage but for all of God’s people.
Explore this TruthFrom the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation, the Bible places Jesus at the crossroads for every person who has ever lived or ever will live. He is the central character of the Bible, and the One who presents humankind with an unavoidable decision. Every person must decide for himself or herself: Jesus is either Lord and Savior, worthy of worship and allegiance, or He is someone less.

Explore this TruthGod does not need our gratitude, our worship, our love; but when we are thankful, when we worship Him, we are enriched. We receive His love and give it back; in so loving, we become more like Him. Gratitude changes us!
Explore this TruthThrough His Son Jesus, God invites us not only to know Him but also to grow as close as we desire. He beckons us into a relationship that is supremely fulfilling, eternally unbroken and infinitely deep. As Pastor Adrian Rogers says, we can all have “as much of God as we want.”
Explore this TruthLet’s examine four men—Isaac, Joseph, Moses and Gideon—and the faith lessons we can learn from their lives. Then, we’ll turn our attention to what it feels like when our faith fails us—when we just can’t catch our spiritual breath—and talk about how to get back in the race and “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14).
Explore this TruthChristians must trust God’s sovereignty even when they are submerged by suffering, forsaken by friends, and dismayed by darkness in the midst of the storm. There is a spiritual place of stillness in the center of God’s will that mirrors the physical eye in the center of a hurricane. From this place, the Christian is not only able to praise God in the storm but is also able to help restore other storm victims with meekness, humility and love.
Explore this TruthWe are living on the edge of eternity, our arms stretched toward the unimaginable. How then, should we live? We live in hope, because we know the promises God gave us in His Word are true. We live with our eyes focused on Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith. We live longing for, and prepared for, His return.
