Satan Under Our Feet
Not only does Psalm 91 clue us in on angelic assistance (last week’s message), but we are also empowered to deal with negative and evil forces, as we are bidden to “trample upon lions and cobras” and to “crush fierce lions and serpents under our fee.” Spiritual warfare … Spiritual victory. Let’s talk about it. The scripture: Psalm 91.9-13The teaching: SATAN UNDER OUR FEETThe series: PSALM 91: IN THE SECRET PLACE
Angels All Around Us
When it comes to angels there is no shortage of speculation and new age (false) teachings, as well as great variety of marketing.

They will hold you up with their hands so that you won’t hurt your foot on a stone.” The scripture:…

Psalm 91: Under His Wings
UNDER HIS WINGS … an image of God, drawn from nature, that speaks of God’s nurture and protection over His people. In our series on Psalm 91 we explore this image and its meaning for us in THESE days. The scripture: Psalm 91.1-4 The teaching: UNDER HIS WINGSThe series: PSALM 91: IN THE SECRET PLACE
In the Secret Place: Trust
Trust … We trust people. We can see them and talk with them. They can earn our trust or lose our trust. Happens all the time. But trusting God … ? We can’t see Him with natural eyes or hear Him with our natural ears. We are encouraged to trust in God, but we have been disappointed in many of the outcomes of life and we are either no longer sure how to trust God or we have abandoned the…
Labor Day: His Glory in All Things

Our God is a working and creative God, and we are His workmanship. The scripture: Ecclesiastes 3.9-13 and Colossians 3.22-25 The teaching: LABOR DAY: HIS GLORY IN ALL THINGS
We Are the New Jerusalem
We culminate this summer’s series on biblical images of the church by going to the end of the Bible to see the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven and the saints of God dwelling on the new earth. Here is when God truly dwells with His people. The scripture: John 14.1-3 and Revelation 21.1-7 The teaching: WE ARE THE NEW JERUSALEM The series: WILL THE REAL CHURCH PLEASE STAND UP!
