The Epic Life - Bob Hallman

The Whole Armor of God 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [ a ]wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [ b ]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heaven...

Now, Paul is going to take a dive into an area that by a lot of people think doesn't even belong in the Bible, and that's our workplace. He talks about our vocation and he talks about making money, and he talks about how to conduct ourselves as employees and employers.  So, this is like is this nitty-gritty or what it's like if you want to know what it means to be a Christian.  The book of Ephesia...

Enjoy this audio replay of a sermon Pastor Bob Hallman delivered October 14, 2012 in his Ephesians series titled "Parenting God's Way"  Father, we thank you for the fact that you have provided us your Word. We thank you God, it's just such a comfort and actually God, it's such a joy to have it in our hands and to have your teaching your manual for life for everything including raising kids, and in...

Enjoy this audio replay of a message Pastor Bob Hallman delivered in his Ephesian Series: Becoming A Christ Like Husband  Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy. Cleansing her by the washing with water through the word and to present her to himself as a radiant church without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blamele...

Enjoy this audio replay of a message Pastor Bob delivered to remind us to appreciate, encourage, and thank all women in our lives, especially mothers.  Being a woman, and especially being a mom, or grandmother is challenging. Motherhood is a difficult task and a thankless job. More often than not, the average mother struggles predominately with a sense of failure, inadequacy, even though they are...

Praise God we have something to look forward to. God has a kingdom for us, he's got promised for us, he's got an inheritance for us, he's got a hope for us, he's got Christ for us. NONE of that can be diminished, can't go down with the stock market, it can't disappear with our economic crisis or our debt load as a country, It's untouchable in the Kingdom of Heaven. The scripture goes on to say "6...

I want to share with you we have absolutely no reason as believers to be frightened of these events that are unfolding in the Middle East or for that matter on Oahu or for that matter in our own country because God is on the throne.  God is doing something significant in the day in which we live, and all these things are a part of the eternal plan of God.  He doesn't, of course have anything to do...

What kind of people we should be now that we have become citizens of the kingdom of God? He says in Ephesians 5:1 "be imitators of God therefore as dearly loved children and live a life of love just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God" We should be imitators of not only God but of Jesus Christ all through the Bible we have evidence of that we h...

One of the things that is part of the Christian Life is CHANGE, big change, transformation. As we've been going through the book of Ephesians, that's the one main primary thing that Paul keeps getting at is that our destiny is changed. Our entire life is changed, our citizenship is changed. We've gone from darkness to life, from the kingdom of Satan to the kingdom of God. We've gone from a place o...

Ephesians 4:17 - Enjoy this audio replay of a video message Pastor Bob Hallman delivered July 1, 2012.  Sometimes we forget how rich we are in Christ, how blessed we are, how much God loves us, how much he's done for us. Sometimes, we have this this heart because of our circumstances, that we're always asking God for more, and we're asking for his help, and we're asking for his effort in our behal...

God does have gifts for us as a church. In this section of scripture, there is a handful that he intentionally, expressively, purposes to let us know about that has to do with the expansion and the building, and the strengthening of the church of God. They are given by God's grace, they are given strategically, and individually, and they are given for the benefit of the body of Christ. We know fro...

Ephesians 4:1-6 I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received be completely. humble and gentle be patient bearing with one another in love make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace there is one body and one spirit just as you were called to one hope when you were called one Lord one faith one baptism one God. This passage that we're looking at...

I'm watching families, sometimes you know married couples, that are struggling and there are these breaches in the relationship and all I can say is: that's the work of the enemy. I see breaches between children and their parents and even in Christian families. That's the work of the enemy. I see breaches in families over money, of all things, stuff that won't last, stuff that doesn't matter in th...

I want to tell you that you have a God ordained appointment and this is one of the beautiful things about the Apostle Paul is that he recognized that the condition of his life and the situation's he was facing he's imprisoned by the way and in the writing of this letter he under house-arrest all of his privileges are stripped away and he's awaiting trial with almost a certain death sentence that's...

This gift that we've got of eternal life is from Christ and it's a gift by grace. There is nothing that we could do to earn it, or to achieve it, or to merit it or to maintain it. It's all from God.  Now Paul is going to tell us and remind us about what we were like before all of this goodness from God came to us in the person of Jesus Christ. Enjoy the rest of the message.  Blessings, The Epic Li...

In Revelation, it tells us that he will open that scroll. That scroll is the title deed to the world and God in Christ is going to redeem it. Thank God, and it's going to happen and we're not very far away, and if your vision of heaven is fat cherubs playing harps on clouds in heaven, that's wrong because the Bible says that we're going to have a new heaven and a new earth, a recreated heaven a re...

The Holy Spirit has been given to us by God. We got into the boat of the kingdom of God by simply hearing the word and then believing the message. That's all that's required and when a person hears the Word, the gospel of salvation that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins was buried and rose three days later in the power of the Spirit. That simple message, if a person is willing to receive...

The role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Paul says that anyone who is in Christ is considered a saint set apart for God for very special purposes. As we've been exploring over these last few weeks:  to be not just the friend of God but the Bride of Christ himself and as a result, it says that Paul tells us that God has chosen us for this role.  This is collective but also personal fo...

Ephesians chapter 1 we're going to be looking specifically at verses 7 through 12 but to get the context I want to begin at the beginning, and we'll read through verse 14. I've entitled the message "Appointed For His Glory" When we come across a passage like this, if I didn't know better and I didn't know Christ and I hadn't been walking with a lord so long, I'd say could this possibly be true is...

Everything you've ever wanted and ever longed for is found in the person of Jesus Christ: your spouse is an extension an allegory a foreshadowing of that, but your spouse can't provide what only Jesus Christ can provide. So, Paul lays out this incredible gift that God has given to us, and this love that he offers, and it's a love letter to us, and he and he puts it out there for us. He's not shy,...

We are going to talk about the church and talk about God's love for the church and his plan for the church, and the blessings he's poured out on the church, and is his intention for the church and how the church is to function and how were to love each other and how were to conduct ourselves and how were to live as husbands and wives and sons and daughters, and how were to get along even with our...

(Pastor Bob's sermon notes can be found on bible.org ) Introduction       The Bible claims to be the Word of God and the ultimate source of absolute truth. Over the last several weeks we have put the text of the Bible to the test.  We have explored the inspiration, history and uniqueness of the Bible.  Last week we began a two part series examining the reliability of the Bible in four critical are...

(Pastor Bob's sermon notes can be found on bible.org )       As Christians, we believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.  What we believe and how we live is based on the truth of its contents.  The reliability of the Bible is so critical that if you can destroy the credibility of the Bible, you can virtually destroy Christianity.        It is not surprising, therefore, tha...
