  Ray Pritchard (Sep 11, 2008)
  Using the war on terror as a backdrop, this sermon explains how Satan attacks us asymmetrically. He works the angles and uses many small attacks in order to bring us down. Unless we understand Satan’s strategy, we will be defeated over and over again. The good news is that in Jesus Christ, we have everything we need to fight and win our spiritual battles.
• Why You Need Your Enemies, and Your Enemies Need You. - 41 : 46 - DOWNLOAD
  Ray Pritchard (Jun 25, 2008)

  If I keep a heavenly perspective and believe Romans 8:28, enemies are not really enemies. They are some of the best friends I have. What is sometimes meant by some to hurt me actually helps bring about a work of grace in me that wouldn’t take place any other way. My enemies are a gift from God to me. They make me like Christ so that I can show Christ to them.

  Ray Pritchard (May 15, 2008)

  When you pray for a loved one who seems hardened against the Lord, pray that the eyes of their heart might be opened so that the light of God can come flooding in. And if that seems hopeless, at least it puts the hopeless case at God’s doorstep, which is where it belongs.

• Strength for the Journey - 34 : 52 - DOWNLOAD

  This message comes from 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17. Since God has chosen you for salvation, stand fast amid all the trials of life, knowing that God will encourage you and make you strong on the inside so that your life will be filled with good words and good deeds. It’s all there—and it all flows together—doctrine, command, promise and prayer.

We are all “splendid sinners,” “lovable losers” and “magnificent failures” apart from the grace of God. Therefore let him who boasts boast only in the Lord.

• If I Believe Why Do I Doubt? - 47 : 29 - DOWNLOAD
  Ray Pritchard (Jan 30, 2009)
  Doubt does have its uses. Deep doubt is often the prelude to an even deeper faith. I love the way one writer expresses it: “Doubts are the ants in the pants of faith. They keep it awake and moving."It is a wonderful truth that the greatest doubters often become the strongest believers. And honest doubts — once resolved — often become the bedrock of an unshakable faith.
