As we move into the book of Ephesians, Troy reminds us that when we follow Jesus, and live His way instead of our own, we are connected to the power we need to get through this life on earth and to have the hope of eternal life in heaven.

Continuing in our series, All Together Different, Troy discusses Paul's opposition to Peter, caused by Peter's hypocrisy and his actions that were based on other people's opinions, not on God's truth. Troy also encourages us to believe that when difficult times cause us to hit rock bottom, that can be a good thing, because then we have nowhere to look but up to Jesus.

For our New Year's message, Troy discusses new beginnings and our need to stick with it and never give up. As we strive to achieve our goals, God has a part to play and so do we. Oftentimes, God chooses not to supernaturally remove or resolve a problem; instead, He gives His ongoing, miraculous strength to enable us to persevere through the problem. Then we can finish what we started and arrive at a better place than we were before.
