The War in Your Mind Pt. 3

The sermon says the battle for peace is fought in the mind, where an already defeated enemy attacks through lies, accusation and sudden fear, and where believers answer with scripture spoken out loud and the authority Jesus gave them.

   The War in Your Mind Pt. 2

   The mind is the battlefield, and Paul says the weapons God gives have divine power to tear down the lies a person has built their life inside. Ron Tucker pairs that with David pouring out his rawest feelings to God, and with a daily habit of scripture spoken out loud.

   The Nicene Creed

   The creed the church recites today did not appear out of nowhere; the earliest believers were already passing down short, memorized statements about who Jesus is, and the Nicene Creed is the capstone of three centuries of that teaching.

   James

   James grew up in the same house as Jesus, mocked him as a fraud, and stayed away when he was executed, and then met his brother alive and spent the rest of his life calling himself his slave.

   Nehemiah

   Nehemiah hears that Jerusalem's walls are broken down and its people are in disgrace, and he prays, weeps and then goes to rebuild, trusting God to do what he cannot do alone.
