Spiritual Warfare
Whether you like it or not or whether you realize it or not, if you know Jesus Christ, you're in a battle of spiritual proportions. Now you might think this battle only takes place in bars and boardrooms, but it's also going on in our church and under the roof of our own homes. So we must understand we're in a spiritual battle, we must identify our enemy, and we must understand who this battle belongs to. In this special series, Pastor Mark will take us behind enemy lines and behind the scenes of our five senses to help us understand what we're dealing with and the weapons God gives us to be victorious in Spiritual Warfare.

The Holy Spirit
There are many misconceptions about the identity of the Holy Spirit. Some view the Holy Spirit as a mystical force. Others understand the Holy Spirit as the impersonal power that God makes available to followers of Christ. What does the Bible say about the identity of the Holy Spirit? Simply put, the Bible declares that the Holy Spirit is God. The Bible also tells us that the Holy Spirit is a divine person.
In this topical message Pastor Mark Kirk takes us to Scripture to reveal the truth about the Holy Spirit. Grab your Bible and listen closely as Pastor Mark leads us through this study.
Giving Thanks or Thanksgiving
.jpg)
In 1789 George Washington assigned a day "to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficient author of all that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks." What began over two hundred years ago as a day wholly devoted to worshipping Almighty God has transformed into a celebration of food, family and football.
Halloween
Daily we must choose between right and wrong. Some issues are black and white leaving little room for interpretation. Others are more subtle and less clear, but we must still define these and decide whether they are beneficial or harmful to us spiritually. Halloween, to many, is a gray area and countless numbers of Christians participate in the "celebration" annually. Is this "holiday" a treat to enjoy or just another trick the enemy uses to drag us down?
