Paul's words leap off the pages of this text, clearly, as God implores His people to illuminate this dark & crooked world. Use it to launch yourself into a new way of thinking & living - which can transform lives for the better!

Paul demonstrated & now teaches with Jesus' prime example what genuine humility looks like. In this part of the text, he emphasizes how real selflessness brings unity to the Body of Christ, & an utter completeness to the believers who are able to live it. Ater the message, if you desire to watch short videos of the extraordinarily remarkable "bless the pizza person" thing, mentioned in the message...

Some of us are unaware of how we come across to others. In these very strange times, maybe we need an "unexpected message" to help us along on our spiritual journeys. Maybe it's time we let God move us so we can be greater movers for Him. This message is personal, and might be just what's needed this Christmas - for you and those around you.

Even as Paul is incarcerated for no good reason, he sets the tone and example of having a good attitude. First century readers were concerned for him, but he shows them he is making the most of his difficult circumstances, encouraging them by his remarkable example of optimism for the cause of Christ. Let his words and example encourage you, too, as you read through these inspiring inspired words....

As we continue our journey in the series, Paul demonstrates a remarkably good attitude, despite his extremely negative circumstances. In this part of our studies, we learn how to navigate well through life - no matter how bad it gets.

Paul introduces this letter to the Philippians with all kinds of fascinating information. There's so much practical guidance to learn in such a short passage. Get ready for a journey of joy as we begin our study through this encouraging part of God's Word!

Wrapping up his first of four in the Prison Epistles, Paul adds a personal touch, reminding us of our responsibility to live out our faith in order to be granted God's grace. God is just keeping it real with these final words in His inspired letter to the first century Christians in Ephesus, & to us.

While it has become quite trendy to soften the image of God & Christianity in general, Scripture teaches us with vivid imagery how Christians are actually supposed to prepare for spiritual battles. It's quite a different picture than many might suspect, but it is exactly what God wants us to see.

Paul has been building on this concept that Christians are not to be judgmental of nonbelievers, yet are not to behave like them. In this part he addresses how we represent Christ by our work ethic - wherever we work.

Children are not just the future. They are here now, & God has given direction to them & directions for them, now, in this vital part of these Prison Epistles. Let God's Word guide you in your homes, & consider the impact on the children - for God's sake & theirs.

In the first section (Ephesians) of Pastor Adams' series, "The Hard Time Letters," we have a 2-part thing happening. This, the first of the two parts, focuses on the spouses; & especially the key role men are supposed to play, & why God set it up this way. Many will gloss over or pass by this part of Scripture without highlighting the mystery between how Christ loves His bride, the church, & how h...

James tells us an illustrated faith is required. Jesus teaches in the Parable of the Wise & Foolish Builders if we want a solid foundation, we must put His words into practice. Paul reminds us of the same concept(s) in this text. And he is setting us up for some difficult subject material...

Journey through this part of "The Hard Time Letters" series & be motivated to motivate others. God calls us to rethink so that our words & actions can align better with His will. You can become a seriously remarkable influencer by choosing to see good in others, & doing something to positively impact people's lives.

In this part of Paul's letter to the Ephesians he reveals a mystery, hidden for ages - even from spiritual entities. Open your Bibles & learn just how relevant, practical, & needed you are to fulfill God's will in this dark world.

In a world & time when we are so quick to judge & criticize others, this is a healthy reminder of how God wants Christians to be more gracious with unbelievers.

Pastor Adams addresses a very common false doctrine in modern times by letting Scripture be the guide. Brace yourself for some in-your-face reality talk we must have. (This is another message where sound technicians erred, so multiple sections of 3 delivered messages had to be spliced together as creatively as possible. Apologies in advance for any technical glitches which may be audible. We tried...

In message 3 of the original "Hard Time Letters" expository message series we learn Paul continues to purposely & effectively encourage others, despite his own circumstances. He models & shares a great attitude - while building the readers up, & glorifying our unique, remarkable, & powerful Lord!

As Paul begins addressing the Ephesian Christians from prison, he focuses on building them up, rather than on his unfair circumstances, demonstrating how we, too, can determine our own attitudes. Pastor Adams has some distractions of his own in this message, but stays focused as he leads us through this first part of our text.

Certainly, this is not any attempt at an exhaustive explanation of all things eschatological. However, in this message Pastor Adams tries to unmuddy some of the murky waters relating to popular end-times teachings. Grab your Bible & a notepad. It's likely you're going to want to take notes on this insightful & practical message which points us back to God's Holy Word.

Peter wraps up his 2nd letter by mentioning his 1st one, & gives us some final, solid golden nuggets of wisdom. Let God pull you in a little closer & teach you a few more things in this last message in the series.
