Mike Minter 41:17 no The silence of Adam in the garden is the beginning of every man's inclination to remain silent when he should speak.

Pastor and author Gary Thomas teaches on the need for men to be passionately engaged & empowered by God to influence the world. Gary Thomas 43:41 no God has given those who are in Christ "every spiritual blessing" (Ephesian 1:3) - but why do some Christians seem to be living a life of victory, while others struggle greatly? Pastor Tony Pedroni teaches from the book of Ephesians on the key to living victoriously. 28 Apr 2013 13:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/926-the-key-to-victory God has given those who are in Christ "every spiritual blessing" (Ephesian 1:3) - but why do some Christians seem to be living a life of victory, while others struggle greatly? Pastor Tony Pedroni teaches from the book of Ephesians on the key to living victoriously. Tony Pedroni 46:58 no In Genesis 1:28, we are commanded to "be fruitful," which is impossible apart from relationship. Pastor Wayne Johnson teaches on how living a fruitful, godly life is not a means to a relationship with God, but the result of living in relationship with Him. 21 Apr 2013 13:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/923-fruitful In Genesis 1:28, we are commanded to "be fruitful," which is impossible apart from relationship. Pastor Wayne Johnson teaches on how living a fruitful, godly life is not a means to a relationship with God, but the result of living in relationship with Him. Wayne Johnson 38:50 no Because Satan is the "father of lies" (John 8:44) and rules over the world system (Ephesians 2:2), we can conclude that the world is lying to us constantly about how we ought to live. Scripture gives us a clear lens through which we can distinguish truth from lies in the world system. 14 Apr 2013 13:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/917-a-word-to-the-wise-part-5 Because Satan is the "father of lies" (John 8:44) and rules over the world system (Ephesians 2:2), we can conclude that the world is lying to us constantly about how we ought to live. Scripture gives us a clear lens through which we can distinguish truth from lies in the world system. Mike Minter 38:52 no Everyone has some amount of strength, intellect and wealth. The natural pull of the human heart will be to glory in any of these and pit our human wisdom against against God's wisdom. 7 Apr 2013 13:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/909-a-word-to-the-wise-part-4 Everyone has some amount of strength, intellect and wealth.

Mike Minter 41:05 no The two thieves hung with Jesus at His crucifixion show the beautiful simplicity of the Gospel. These thieves represent two paths - one leading to death, the other leading to life. Which path have you chosen? 31 Mar 2013 13:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/905-he-is-risen The two thieves hung with Jesus at His crucifixion show the beautiful simplicity of the Gospel. These thieves represent two paths - one leading to death, the other leading to life. Which path have you chosen? Mike Minter 35:58 no "It's just me and God" is not a biblical mindset. Rather, scripture shows us that there is great wisdom in close relationships. Don't let pride keep you from experiencing the joy of deep friendship in your pilgrimage. 24 Mar 2013 13:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/902-a-word-to-the-wise-part-3 "It's just me and God" is not a biblical mindset. Rather, scripture shows us that there is great wisdom in close relationships. Don't let pride keep you from experiencing the joy of deep friendship in your pilgrimage. Mike Minter 42:52 no Proverbs 18:21 teaches us that the power of life and death is in the tongue. Words are a signature of the soul, and the weight and power our words carry is directly proportional to the relationship you have with that person. Do you use your words wisely? 17 Mar 2013 13:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/898-a-word-to-the-wise-part-2 Proverbs 18:21 teaches us that the power of life and death is in the tongue. Words are a signature of the soul, and the weight and power our words carry is directly proportional to the relationship you have with that person. Do you use your words wisely? Mike Minter 45:09 no Intellect does not always equal wisdom. Wisdom is a skill for living, the proper application of knowledge. Wisdom dictates that we see life as it really is, and the only way to do this is through the lens of God's word. 10 Mar 2013 13:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/891-a-word-to-the-wise-part-1 Intellect does not always equal wisdom.

Mike Minter 37:01 no Even though we buy into the lie that God only uses super-gifted, super-talented people, He does extraordinary things through ordinary people all the time. We have opportunities to act not because God needs us, but because He wants us. 3 Mar 2013 16:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/883-lights-camera-reaction-part-2 Even though we buy into the lie that God only uses super-gifted, super-talented people, He does extraordinary things through ordinary people all the time.

Jason Goetz teaches from the book of Esther on how nothing is really coincidence. Jason Goetz 40:14 no Perhaps the greatest strategy the enemy has agains the church is sideline Christians by making them comfortable to the point that they have no impact on the world around them. But God provides all we need for the battle, and He provides the victory. 17 Feb 2013 16:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/868-the-forgotten-war-part-6 Perhaps the greatest strategy the enemy has agains the church is sideline Christians by making them comfortable to the point that they have no impact on the world around them. But God provides all we need for the battle, and He provides the victory. Mike Minter 40:39 no In James chapter 3, we find there are two types of wisdom - worldly and heavenly. Worldly wisdom works on the false premise that man can solve his own problems independent from God. But when the problem tries to solve the problem - that's a problem. 10 Feb 2013 16:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/861-the-forgotten-war-part-5 In James chapter 3, we find there are two types of wisdom - worldly and heavenly.

Mike Minter 40:18 no We are in constant struggle between the war of two kingdoms - the Kingdom of Darkness, or the world system, and the Kingdom of Light. We must see this conflict through the eyes of Scripture in order to engage as children of the Kingdom of Light. 3 Feb 2013 16:12:51 GMT http://www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/856-the-forgotten-war-part-4 We are in constant struggle between the war of two kingdoms - the Kingdom of Darkness, or the world system, and the Kingdom of Light.

Mike Minter 41:25 no Shame is one of the most subversive and powerful forces in our lives. Our enemy works diligently to set up strongholds of shame, keeping us captive in hopelessness. The key to breaking the chains of shame is to bring every thought and imagination under obedience to Christ. 27 Jan 2013 16:12:51 GMT www.restonbible.org/sermons/item/852-the-forgotten-war-part-3 Shame is one of the most subversive and powerful forces in our lives.

Mike Minter 45:34 no How do we as Christians engage those around us in a persuasive and winsome manner while keeping the Gospel front and center?
