![]() We continue our "Fearlessly Face the Fight" series, based on Ephesians 6, and putting on the full armour of God. Today, we focus on making sure the breastplate of righteousness is in place from Ephesians 6:14. ![]()
Question for Reflection
How would you describe the "breastplate of righteousness"? I welcome your comments. -Jason This week we look at putting on the belt of truth. Jesus said He is the truth. He also wants us to walk in truth, with sincerity and integrity. This is the foundation of all the other armor, essential to stand our ground in the Lord. Have you put on your belt today? *Sorry, no handout this week. Question for Reflection
What does it mean to put on the “belt of truth" in your life today? I welcome your comments. -Jason We're looking at Ephesians 6 and putting on the armour of God over the next several weeks. Listen to the introductory sermon below.
*Sorry, no handout or question for reflection this week. ![]() Today we look at 1 Timothy 6:6-21. "But godliness with contentment is great gain" (1st Timothy 6:6, NIV). In a world that is never satisfied, God can help us live a life of contentment. ![]()
Question for Reflection
Why do you think that our society thinks that having more will bring happiness? Do you ever get caught up in that way of thinking? I welcome your comments. -Jason ![]() “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:8, NIV. God wants us to train to be godly, to be more like Christ. *The sermon audio is unavailable this week. Our apologies. The manuscript is available below if you'd like to read "Training for Good" from Sunday. ![]()

Question for Reflection
What area of your life do you need to grow in to become more like Christ? I welcome your comments. -Jason ![]() Lessons in Shipwreck Avoidance. As Paul warned in 1 Timothy 1:19, "Some have rejected these and so have shipwrecked their faith." He also tells us how to avoid this happening. Take a listen. ![]()
Question for Reflection
Have you experienced, or watched in others, things that caused shipwrecks on the journey of faith? I welcome your comments. -Jason Question for Reflection
What scars from your life do you now treasure as reminders of God's grace at work? I welcome your comments. -Jason ![]() Grace works most effectively where grace is dispensed freely. Today we look at Acts 4:32-35, and how the early church can teach us what it means to be a grace dispensing church. "Make sure that no one misses out on God's grace..." (Hebrews 12:15a, CEB). ![]()
Question for Reflection
How does our church look like Acts 4:32-35? In what areas can we grow? I welcome your comments. -Jason ![]()
Question(s) for Reflection
What do you find motivates you more, pressure or encouragement? How does grace motivate us to honour God? I welcome your comments. -Jason ![]() When we have received the grace of God, it's no good if we just keep it to ourselves. Grace goes from me to you. From you to others. Today we look at Romans 12:1-8 as we grow in grace together. And just for fun, I've included the full "Who's On First?" comedy routine. We just watched the first part on Sunday to help us remember that we are not on first. ![]()
Question for Reflection Why is it important to not "conform to the pattern of this world" as Paul tells us to do in Romans 12:2? I welcome your comments. -Jason |
