Know Thy Enemy - Part 1 - Satan and the Demonic - Ephesians 6:10-12
Whether we realize it or not, we are in a battle. But the battle is not against other people - instead it is against Satan and his demonic forces, the world, and the flesh. But what does that mean?
Pastor Ross begins to explore what it means to be in a battle with Satan and his demonic forces. How they operate, attack, and how as children of God, we have the authority to stand firm in the victory that Jesus purchased on the cross.
Does God Condone Slavery? - Ephesians 6:5-9
There are many passages in the Word of God that are difficult to understand. The issue of slavery in the Bible is addressed multiple times and it would appear that God didn't condemn it.

1 Samuel 26 talks about how David had to honour a man in leadership who wanted him dead. The Bible makes it clear that God appoints all leaders, even bad ones, but he also asks us to honour them.

Protect One Another - Ephesians 5:21-33
Rejection is common to each and every person. And its effect is devastating as it deforms our soul and how we see God, ourselves, and others. That's why the unconditional love and acceptance of God is so critical, not just to healing the hurt of rejection - but to everyday life.
Marriage offers a unique opportunity to distribute God's love and acceptance to one another, and therefore offering protection to when shame and the flesh attacks.
