 Memory Verse:

Ephesians 6:11

 (Click on Pictures to read)












When Adam and Eve believed the enemy’s lies and did something that God said not to do, they were kicked out of the garden. On that day, death and evil entered the world, and we are still battling it today.
One way we can be equipped to battle against this evil is by suiting up with the Belt of Truth. The Belt of Truth is a piece of the armor of God, and when we put it on, it helps us remember and believe the TRUTH we know from God’s Word – the Bible.
This is important because remembering what God’s Word says will help us any time the enemy is attacking us with lies. We can defend ourselves, and then defeat him using the TRUTH!


ASK the following questions:

1. How do you put on the belt of truth? (Read and remember God’s Word)

2. What are some lies the enemy might attack you with? (Tempting you to do the wrong thing, making you feel insecure, making you think God doesn’t love you, etc.)

3. How can you know if something being told to you is TRUTH or a LIE from the enemy? (If it goes against something in God’s Word, then it is a LIE, pray and ask God to help you know what to believe, ask other people in your life who love God to help you, etc.)

Hearing and doing I'm amazed at how easy it becomes to nod our heads at all the right places after serving God for a while. We are quick to agree when someone speaks to us about God's Word (given that it is sound doctrine of course), without asking ourselves if it is merely theory to us. The fact of the matter is that most of us believe what the Bible teaches with all our hearts. How is it then that we so easily fall into the trap of knowing but not applying? Hearing but not doing? How do we keep ourselves from thinking we know it all but hold on to a zeal for God's Word that leads to obedience? It is relatively easy to read the 'thou shalt not' passages, to apply it and to tap ourselves on the shoulder thinking we did well! Of course we are doing well if we abstain from all the things we know is bad for us - sinful behaviors, unhealthy attitudes, etc. - but I do think there is more to living a life of abundance and victory! There are many pas...

Temporary Suffering

Temporary Suffering Part 1: Is it God's will for Christians to suffer? I recently posed this question to our congregation. The response could not have been more diverse, ranging from " absolutely ," to " absolutely not! " Here's the thing: everyone undergoes suffering in some form at some point of time. Consequently everyone has an opinion about it, seeing as we're all experts in our own rights. But what does the Bible say? If we take seriously Jesus' words in the Gospels it becomes abundantly clear that being His follower comes with various hardships. His teaching about suffering as a disciple culminates in everyone's least favourite promise in the Bible where He states, " In this world you will have trouble... " (John 16:33) But perhaps that's still somewhat open to interpretation? And what about God's will regarding such matters as suffering and hardship? Let's look at passages out of the letters of...

Refocus

1 Peter 2:1–2 We can't solve every problem, but sometimes we can resolve issues by simply readjusting our focus i.e. seeing them in a different light.   In his first letter, Peter could have focused on people’s sin and their need to repent. But then their attention would be on the problem, and not on solving it. So he shifts the focus: “Therefore, ridding yourselves of all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn infants long for the unadulterated spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation” (1 Pet 2:1–2). Peter calls them to see their Christian experience as a newborn longing for milk. They must make the Bible a priority so that it becomes something they need and long for. As they imbibe it, their sinful behavior is resolved. We can always choose where to place our attention. We often turn our attention toward preventing something like sin at the expense of actually doing something good i.e. growing in the Lord. ...
