Jack reminds us that God hasn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind. Then, turning to Genesis 3, he points out that the main person Satan accuses in our mind is God. We don’t have to succumb to all the “crazy talk” around us. 2 Timothy 1:7 2 Corinthians 11:3 Genesis 3 2 Corinthians 4…
Jack encourages us that we should not despise the trials God uses to prove our faith, because one day God will praise us (gasp!) for our faithfulness. We have much to rejoice in: our living hope in Christ, our imperishable inheritance, and the fact that God’s power guards us.
We have so much to be grateful for! Jack encourages us to let our lights shine by connecting with how much we’ve been forgiven. We are compelled to joy by what God has done for us.

Jack discusses love within the kingdom and the local church. He encourages us to renew our love for each other within the church and sustain our fervent love in Christ and the local church.
Today Phil walks through Jesus’ parable of the wheat and weeds, and how Satan plants weeks of falsehood in the church to weaken and disable God’s people.

“LDS” Christians Love, Defend, and Spread the gospel. Today Jack continues his series from Philippians 1 regarding our progress in the faith. Notable quotes: We have an always salvation. We can have an always joy. Grace is opposed to earning. Grace is not opposed to effort. Questions to consider: Have I made progress from where I was last month? Does the way…
Imagine going to a banquet and only getting a hot dog. Why not go for more? Get seconds? John 1 says “from His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” Christ beckons us to a deeper relationship and more of His grace in our lives. Let us draw near.
Jack reminds us that of our continual growth in the joy of Christ and our sanctification, and the importance of others as we continue on our walk.
Today Mike Spurlock helps us understand that while Jesus came to establish the Kingdom of Heaven, it is a threat to Satan’s plans. Satan uses deceit, identity crisis, and division as his schemes against the body of Christ. We defeat these schemes of Satan when we lay aside the old self and put on the new self.
