Redeeming Babel Acts 2:1-13 Pastor Phil Rushton

On Send Sunday, churches all around the globe are encouraged to consider their part in the work of sending out laborers into the harvest field. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies Acts 13:1-3 as a model of a church being led by the Spirit and then sending out Paul and Barnabas. We are reminded that we are each called to fulfill the Great Commission, that we all need to be willing to go wherever God would send us, and that we are to send sacrificially.

Pastor Phil continued our “Rest on Us” series with a powerful and timely message on spiritual warfare. As children of God, it's essential that we recognize both who we are fighting against and how to prepare for the battle. Spiritual warfare is real—just as real as the physical world we live in. Every day, we are engaged in a battle that isn't visible to the natural eye but has very real consequences. If we don't understand our adversary, we risk being overcome. That's why awareness and preparation are vital. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us of the true nature of our struggle: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Satan is a master of deception. He knows how to plant seeds of doubt in our minds, twist the truth, and build arguments that subtly turn us away from God. His attacks often come in the form of mental and emotional warfare—aimed at discouraging us, confusing us, and making us question our identity in Christ. But we are not powerless. Through God's Word, we learn to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Instead of being ruled by our feelings, we are called to stand on godly truth—truth that doesn't shift with emotion or circumstance. The blood of Jesus has broken the chains of sin and shame. We are no longer captives. Satan wants us to forget that—weakened, distracted, and bound by lies. But God calls us to remember who we are and to walk daily in the freedom He has already secured for us. Missed last night's message?

Deuteronomy 10:12-13 says, "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?"

It is Finished John 19:28-37 Pastor Phil Rushton 

In today's sermon, Pastor Phil introduces the book of Deuteronomy, which contains messages from Moses, nearing the end of his life, to the nation of Israel. In Deuteronomy 4, Moses tells Israel to listen to the laws he is about to teach, and reminds them of recent events in their history--the giving of the 10 commandments, and the destruction of those who followed Baal. From this chapter, Pastor Phil draws out 4 principles for our walk with God: that we should "remember Who God is, respond to His character and faithfulness, repent of your sin, and receive the abundant grace that God freely offers each and every day."
