He The Overcometh - Part 4- Teaching Notes

1 John 2:15-17
Topic: He That Overcometh
Our eyes are the primary sense in our bodies, and as such God warned us about the lust that our eyes would bring to our flesh.

Understanding how Satan tries to manipulate us is the first step to guarding our eyes from his temptations, and ultimately living a righteous life. [ read more... ]

We Need To Pray - Part 2 Teaching Notes

Isaiah 56:7-7
Topic: We Need to Pray
In part 2 of the series "We Need To Pray," the importance of the church being a house of prayer before anything else is made apparent. In Jerusalem, for example, Jesus entered a temple where people were selling doves as sacrificial animals and taxing people to exchange their currencies. Jesus was quickly angered by the fact that those people were in the temple to make profit and not draw closer to Him, so Jesus began to flip the merchant's tables and throw people out of the temple. If you would like to find out why It is so important that the church be a house of prayer, then this is the message for you! [ read more... ]
