Summary: Wouldn't you love to not to have to work anymore? I think for most people, we’d be glad to stop punching the clock at the workplace, counting the ledger to see how much in debt or how much in the bank we have and just be glad to stop working and relax. Well, how much more so in our spiritual life, how we would love to be done working and simply enjoy in resting in our faith, and the enjoyment of no longer the fatigue and exhaustion of working thinking there is something we have to do to be right with Him. In our passage today that's the very topic, rejoicing in resting and no more working. Join us.

Summary: We will look at two ordinary men who did great and amazing things for the Lord. So here is a study for all us ordinary people who think God won't do great and amazing things through us.

Summary: Paul in verse 12 will say under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling”; and then in verse 13 he says, for it is God who works in you both to will and do for His good pleasure. To understand and walk in the “joy” that is promised in this epistle, every believer needs to understand what is the biblical definition of “salvation”, and how does that apply to my life personally today. Indeed, another rich passage in our study of this epistle…. Join us!

Summary: What an invitation to every believer; that God want so give us His mind and how He thinks regarding how we are to live in this world, and live amongst each other in the Body of Christ. Tremendous passage of scripture that will change the way we live. Join Us.

Summary: Hard times are inevitable living in this falling world; and we can get confused why we suffer and why we go through trials. Sometimes God uses them for our correction, sometimes He uses them to change the direction we are going, and sometimes He uses them to work His perfection in us………… but also, what if you were told that the hardest season of your life was not God disciplining you, but God trusting you, so others can see the glory of God through you. How would that change your mind about hardships, trials, and suffering? Join us as we investigate suffering and what God is doing in the midst of them.

Summary: Philippians 1:21 — “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Paul summarizes the Christian life in one powerful sentence. To live is Christ means Jesus is the purpose, center, and direction of our lives. As long as we live, we have the opportunity to know Christ, serve Him, and make Him known. To die is gain means death is not defeat for the believer. Death brings us into the presence of the One we have been living for. Paul’s message is simple: If I live, I live for Christ. If I die, I go to be with Christ. Either way, Christ is my gain.

Summary: Paul is rejoicing because the prison cell, nor the chains, could lock up the gospel; In fact, we’ll see the circumstance caused the gospel to go even further. And therefore, Paul rejoices. When Paul is writing this, he thinks he’s just writing a letter to a group of believers. He doesn’t know that he’s writing an epistle. But we, who now read it, know that we, according to the scriptures, are living epistles known and read by all men. And therefore, our lives speak the gospel! Join us as we see how that our lives speak the gospel.

Summary: Our passage today declares one of the greatest promises of the Bible, and that is that what God started in you He will complete it! He formed the heavens and completed them. He formed the world and completed it. He formed you, saved you, and will complete what He started in you……. And He will do it, because He said so, and His Word never falls short (or incomplete). Join us as we find out more of what that means to you and your current circumstances in life.

Summary: The Epistle of Joy…… written by a man in chains (the Apostle Paul), who is awaiting a hearing before the Roman Empire (Nero) on false charges laid against him by envious religious leaders….. yet some 16 times in four short chapters he will write and say the word rejoice/joy! How could he be filled with joy as he writes from prison? Today we start with two of the key words and reasons (Grace and Bondservant), and we begin to understand how he was, and we too can find joy regardless of the circumstances of life. Join Us!

Summary: The Book of Ephesians has been called the Swiss Alps of the New Testament as we have scaled great heights of God’s love and calling upon our lives. And as the Epistle began, so does it end, with “Grace”. God’s story, and your story, all begins and ends with Grace…. God’s-Riches-at-Christ’s-Expense. Living in Grace and giving Grace to one another……. We will live a life that takes us into the heavenlies, where Christ is seated! Join us as we end where we began….. In Grace.

Summary: After studying the six pieces of spiritual armor, we will now see the engine that empowers the pieces, and it is prayer. Without prayer the spiritual armor is just for show, with no power; but with prayer….. unstoppable!

Summary: In our passage we are told to pray in the Spirit; what does that mean? Join us as we unlock a powerful prayer promise, that when believed and exercised unlocks the might power of prayer in our lives, and for those we pray for.

Summary: We begin a 3-part study on spiritual warfare, and we start by knowing who our true enemy is (not that person, but the devil) and seeing his ways to bring us down. In every battle, we will not have victory apart from the Holy Spirt at work in the war for us. Join us we begin our study in putting on the whole armor of God so we can stand in the evil day!

Summary: The average person will spend some 90,000 hours at work. Our passage will show us (remind us) that work becomes worship when done for Christ, and under the leading of the Holy Spirit. Imagine, 90,000 hours of worship as incense before the Throne of God. Join us as we dig into this great passage.

Summary: Our passage today will look at the calling for children in the home, and the calling for the parents, and we will see that both need the influence of the Holy Spirit to live up to the calling. Every child, every parent, every grandparent, regardless of age has a wonderful reminder of their calling in this passage. Join Us!
