Other People Are Not Your Enemies
To conclude our series, All Together Different, Troy discusses the "armor of God" that we find in Ephesians chapter 6. As followers of Jesus, there's a battle we face, where the enemy is Satan and his forces (not other people), and the armor of God is what we need to fight that battle.

    Do You See What I Believe?
    Series: Standalone
    In this standalone message, Troy asks us to consider what real faith in Jesus looks like in our day-to-day lives. And what that all boils down to is a genuine belief that God will do what He says He will do, in the way that He promised.

    Yes, the Good News is for Those People
    In discussing the first 12 verses of Ephesians chapter 3, Troy points out that Paul's emphasis is not that the Gentiles have come over to join the Jews and their Old Testament heritage. If that was the case, they would not need Jesus. Instead, everyone stands on the same ground; Jews and Gentiles alike (all people) must come to God through the gospel.

    The Work is Done, AND There’s a Lot to Do
    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.

    He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother
    Troy takes us through a passage in the last chapter of Galatians to remind us that we’re human, that we stumble, and that we look to each other for help when we face burdens that are too heavy for us to carry on our own.

    The Wolf You Feed
    Continuing in our series, All Together Different, Troy teaches from Galatians chapter 5, with an emphasis on the battle between the flesh and the Spirit that rages inside of us. But when we choose to live God's way instead of our own way, God produces the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, which enables us to love Him and to love other people.

    Did You Believe That I Loved You?
    From this week's passage in Galatians chapter 3, Troy shares the apostle Paul's reminder that we’re sometimes frantically and frustratingly searching for something that we already have. And what we possess are the benefits of the gospel, God's good news about Jesus, which is all we need, and is something we can never earn through our own efforts.

    You’ll Never Be Good Enough
    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.

    Any News is Good News?
    To kick off our new message series through Galatians and Ephesians, Troy explains that either Jesus saves us, or we save ourselves, and that second option is actually hypothetical and impossible.  Salvation is not based on our ability to keep God’s rules, but on the ransom of Jesus, paid with His blood.

    Finish What You Started
    Series: Standalone
    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.
