Theme Scripture: 1 John 1:5
The time has come. The time when candy becomes a dietary staple, kids stay up and are out late running throughout neighborhoods collecting candy, disguised as anything from Ninja Turtles, to Frankenstein to princesses to monsters to political figures, ghosts and aliens. If you are a kid, it is pure fun. But the older you get, the darker the source of the fun. At some point for many, this fun now takes on stories of witchcraft, death, darkness and devilry. Obviously, we are talking about Halloween. What is it about this holiday that brings out so much that seems so sinister? Stay with us – you may be surprised!

Theme Scripture: Romans 13:12
Like any good soldier, we first need to know our enemy. The Christian fights the rulers, power, world forces of darkness and spiritual wickedness - all headed by Satan himself! There is no bigger, badder, more brital enemy we could ever face. How do we fight this fight? What makes us think a battle against such an enemy can be won? We had better be armed! We are grateful the Lord has given us special protection. The Bible describes this protection in terms of specific pieces the armor of God for both offense and defense. If we "put on" this armor, we are ready to be a good solider for Christ.
Five of six piece of armor are attached to our bodies and move with us: sandals, breastplate, belt, helmet, shield. The sword can be put down, but because it represents the word of God, we want to keep it in our hand. This episode details what each of these pieces mean and why they are of extreme importance.
We should be inspired to get up and keep fighting. We should approach the battle with gratitude and thanksgiving that the armor of God is even available. As long as we do our part, we are invincible until our work is done.

Theme Scripture: Luke 6:28
A few weeks ago, we began looking into Islam to try and understand what its principles are as we witness the effects of radical Muslim extremists on our world today. We examined Islam’s peaceful approach to life and some of the similarities to Judaism and Christianity. This morning we will ask: What about Jihad? Who exactly was Mohammad? Who was the promised seed? What about Sharia law? What’s the difference between Sunni and Shiite?

Theme Scripture: Hebrews 13:16
After talking about complaining last week, it makes sense to look at the flip side – how to communicate - for good and positive reasons that is! What makes a great communicator? Is it charisma? Is it your words? Your message? What about body language? Where does passion fit? What made Jesus such a master at drawing people? Does the Bible define communication the same way we do today?
