Part 1 - Today's sermon is part 1 in the new series "Equipped for Conflict", discussing how we can have peace with God. Peace is made. My conflict with God is called sin. Jesus entered our conflict. Jesus made peace by the blood of His cross. You can make peace with God by repenting of your sin today. Peace on Earth was a declaration announcing the birth of the Prince of Peace who came to make peace by the blood of His cross. Luke 2:14 We live in conflict with God, self, and others. My conflict with God is called sin. That conflict must be reconciled first, before reconciling the other conflicts. This conflict is older and larger than we realize: Genesis 3, 4, 6 The loving forgiving God of Peace will not clear the guilty. Exodus 34 We live in a society that excuses the guilty. That is peace-faking. Peace is made. Jesus entered our conflict to bring peace. Right? Matthew 10:34 Luke 2:34-35 Luke 3:17 In Isaiah 9 The Prince of Peace, the baby Jesus we celebrate at Christmas, was prophesied in the context of ending conflict. Jesus made peace by the blood of His cross. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. Colossians 1:19-20 The God of Peace will soon crush Satan under your feet, making eternal peace. Romans 16:20, Revelation 12:9-11 The ultimate conflict is the sinless Son of God dying for my sin. We have peace with God through our repentance made possible by the reconciliation of Jesus Christ. See Romans 5:1-11. You can make peace with God today by repenting of your sins. Here is a link explaining what that means.https://newsong.family/contact Join us on Sundays for the next few weeks as we continue to unpack making peace with ourselves and others.

Living Out the Truth I Know - The very righteousness of Jesus Christ Himself has, by God, been "put to the account" of every true believer. In practical terms, what does it mean for you to "put on the breastplate of righteousness"? In this message, Jack answers that very important question.

Living in the Truth I Believe - "Standing firm against the schemes of the devil" can only happen AFTER we have put on the armor and taken up the arms God has given to us. The first piece of equipment is truth, a "belt" we put around ourselves. Today Jack warns us about our humantendency toward hypocrisy - having our faith "on a shelf" instead of actually in our lives.

Greater Christian Life and Godliness - The message unpacks the verse to gain valuable information on Christian growth and why it is important to seek out greater life and godliness. Not everything done in our lives automatically give us a greater life and help us gain godliness, but God's own glory and excellence is what we have been called to understand to help us to grow in godliness. We need to be transformed.
