As the temple of the Holy Spirit, we have God’s immense and inexhaustible treasure inside us. The excellency of His power surges with¬in us. Although we may be troubled and perplexed, we are not distressed or in despair. And while we are sometimes persecuted and cast down, we are not forsaken or destroyed. Tune in to Home Group as we wrap up our discussion on being a temple of the Holy Spirit.

The moment you were saved, God sealed you with the Holy Spirit, and that seal is His approval that He has thoroughly examined you and found nothing flawed or inferior in you. The Holy Spirit also serves as the earnest of your inheritance, which means He is the deposit or down-payment guaranteeing that God will fulfill His promises to you.

Before you came to Christ, you were spiritually dead and totally power¬less to change your condition. It was God who gave you the eyes to see your true spiritual state and your need for Jesus. He is also the One who gave you the power to believe on the name of Jesus and become a child of God. Your salvation is truly a miracle!

You are God’s masterpiece. Out of the surpassing abundance of His grace, God put forth His most powerful and creative effort to make you brand-spanking new in Christ Jesus the day you got saved. He woke you up out of spiritual death and quickened you with Christ, turning you into something spectacular.

Ultimately, Satan is the energizing presence that is dominating and controlling the world. Before we were saved, our lives were dominated and controlled by him and the whims of the world around us. We pur¬sued the lusts of our flesh and wanted nothing to do with God. It was God who loved us and mercifully pursued us.

Strife is a powerful, deadly influence. And the root of it is demonic. Strife and its consequences are destructive. In this lesson, we will study how to put an end to strife and shut the door to keep it out of your rela¬tionships for good. Join us on Home Group as we wrap up our discussion on Overcoming Strife.

Strife is a killer of nations and of relationships. But you can keep its destructive bitterness out of your life. If you’ll listen to the Holy Spirit and obey the Scriptures, you can guard yourself on every front and avoid a lot of trouble. There is a demonic source to strife. And if you don’t close the door to strife, all kinds of trouble will come through that door into your life, into your mind, into your emotions, and into your rela¬tionships. Join us on Home Group as we continue our discussion on Overcoming Strife.

In this lesson, we will examine how to recognize distractions to make sure your life remains protected on all fronts. If you can identify those points, then you can close those doors and the enemy will not find access to you through your emotions in order to trigger your tongue to release strife into your relationships. Tune in to Home Group as we explore this important topic of recognizing distractions that can be the cause of entering into strife.

Ephesians 4:27 tells us to give no place to the devil and then immediately lists attitudes including bitterness, unforgiveness, quarreling, and strife. These attitudes are not only door openers for the devil, but they also grieve the Holy Spirit when we allow them to gain access into our relationships. It is vitally important to keep the devil out of our relationships. This lesson will explain how to identify entry points that allow strife into our lives. You will also learn how to kick strife out of your life so you can restore peace, order, and civility again. Tune in to Home Group as we continue our discussion on Overcoming Strife.

The devil is always looking for a way to penetrate your life. He wants to find a way to gain access into every relationship you have and spoil it. And just like a watchman who guards and protects the borders or gates of a property or building, you have to stand at the entrance of your life and say, “No admittance!” This lesson will explain the importance of declaring and enforcing your life to be a “No Strife Zone” and examine the consequences if you don’t. Join us on Home Group for this important discussion and insights into ways of keeping strife out of your life!

Did you know God’s peace is available to you? In this powerful program, Denise Renner shares about the personal encounter Martha had with Jesus.

When God’s agape love is actively at work in our lives, we don’t celebrate people’s misfortunes; we rejoice when they’re blessed. We guard and protect people from being exposed and believe the very best of them in every situation. God’s love always hopes for and anticipates the best, endures and never quits, and it can be relied on in every situation. Join us on Home Group as we wrap up our discussion on The Love Test.

The Bible says that God’s love does not demand its own way; it doesn’t manipulate or scheme to get what it wants. His love is also not easily provoked, which means we don’t act or speak in a needling way to cause an ugly response in others. Likewise, when God’s love is working in us, we don’t keep a record of the wrongs we have suffered — we forgive. Join us for Home Group as we continue our discussion on The Love Test.

When God’s love is working in our lives, we are not envious, self-pro¬moting, proud, rude, or ill-mannered. We become others-centered instead of self-centered; we are humble and speak truthfully about ourselves. God’s love in us is respectful and courteous of others, being considerate and mindful of their needs. Tune in to Home Group as we continue our discussion on the Love Test.

God’s love for you is unparalleled! It has been abundantly poured into your heart by the Holy Spirit the moment you were saved. Unlike human, natural love, God’s agape love is unconditional, sacrificial, and totally selfless. It is supernaturally longsuffering and kind to others, displaying great patience and adaptability. Tune in to Home Group as we continue our discussion on The Love Test.

Through the apostle Paul, God instructs us to walk in love with one another. Without love, we come across like ‘sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.’ That is, we are an annoying, irritating sound that seems to eternally echo in people’s ears. The love of God visibly at work in and through our lives is what gets people’s attention and draws people to Him. Join us on Home Group as we begin our discussion on The Love Test.

Being in the right place at the right time is vital for you to be prepared for God’s call on your life. By serving in full-time ministry at Antioch, Saul was equipped to be launched into his calling. Likewise, if you stay where you are supposed to be, it will lead you to God’s destination for your life. Join us for Home Group as we wrap up our discussion on Being At The Right Place at the Right Time.

Having a balance of new and older leaders is very important when it comes to having a powerful spiritual environment. They bring life, vitality, and stability to a church, making it feel as fresh and exciting as it is well-balanced and doctrinally sound. Antioch had the right balance of leaders for a powerful environment, and it was exactly where Paul needed to be. Tune in to Home Group as we continue our discussion on Being At The Right Place at the Right Time.

By directing Paul to Antioch, the Holy Spirit placed him in a mul¬tiracial environment where he could learn to serve side by side with Gentiles and Jews alike. He learned firsthand that in Christ, all cultural distinctions disappear, and it prepared him for his apostolic ministry to the Gentiles. Antioch was the right place for Paul to be, and it was the right time for him to be there. Join us for Home Group as we continue our discussion on Being in the Right Place at the Right Time.

In the church at Antioch, the fivefold ministry gifts were flourishing — especially the gifts of the prophet and the teacher. A close look at Scrip¬ture reveals that Barnabas, Simeon, and Lucius were prophets; Manaen and Paul were teachers. The gathering together of this culturally diverse group could only have been done by the hand of God.

Antioch was a magnificent, thriving city located about 445 miles north of Jerusalem. It was founded in the fourth century BC and became the home of a powerful church during the First Century. The pivotal role it played in the emergence of early Christianity caused Antioch to become known as “the cradle of Christianity.” Join us on Home Group as we begin our discussion on Being In The Right Place at the Right Time.

In the Bible, Daniel never gave in to the intense pressures around him. Find out how to persevere like Daniel in today’s program with Denise Renner.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd and the supreme example of what a pastor should be. Not only are you His sheep, you’re also a sheep of an earthly pastor. Jesus said you can recognize your pastor’s voice and will be supernaturally drawn to him. It’s a divine connection like no other.
