Text: Proverbs 27:17

Instead of looking for ways to look sharp look for ways to make others look sharp.

Text: Proverbs 29:11

Decide to let anger work for you not against you.

An invitation to step into the story of a movement that began with a handful of ordinary people and grew into a force that reshaped history. The introduction traces the sweep of the book of Acts, the spread of the gospel through the Roman world, and the remarkable way God used both miracles and messiness to build His church. Listeners are reminded that the same Spirit who empowered the first believers continues His work today, calling the church to live with courage, unity, and unwavering devotion to Jesus.

The strength of the believer begins with a clear vision of Christ. This teaching lifts the veil on Jesus’ unmatched supremacy over creation, the spiritual realm, and every power of darkness. Far from a struggle between equal forces, spiritual warfare is rooted in the victory, authority, and preeminence of Christ, who holds all things together and rules as the exalted King. As believers grasp the greatness of Jesus, confidence rises and fear loses its hold.

Understanding the enemy’s character and strategies helps believers stand with wisdom and discernment. Scripture reveals Satan as a created, limited, and fallen being whose goals are to oppose God’s work, gain influence where he can, and distort truth through temptation, accusation, intimidation, and deception. This message exposes his tactics while keeping the focus on God’s greater power, reminding believers that awareness is not fear but preparation for victory.

Spiritual battles are fought best when believers know who they are and whose they are. This session unpacks the rich truths of salvation: being rescued from darkness, redeemed through Christ’s blood, forgiven, made new, adopted, reconciled, empowered, and sealed by the Spirit. These realities dismantle the enemy’s lies and establish believers in confidence, gratitude, and freedom. Identity becomes not an idea but a place to stand.

Victory in spiritual warfare comes through humility, dependence on God, and the daily choice to “put on” the armour He provides. This message walks through the pieces of the armour of God, showing how truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word work together to defend, steady, and strengthen believers. Woven through the teaching is the reminder that we fight not in our own strength but in the Lord’s, clothed with what He supplies and grounded in His grace.

Spiritual battles are fought safely and effectively when believers understand the boundaries God has assigned to them. This message explores the biblical idea of “sphere of authority,” showing how stepping beyond God-given influence can open the door to harm, while walking within His assignment brings protection, clarity, and power. Through Scripture and practical examples, Allan urges believers to discern where God has positioned them and to operate with humility, obedience, and spiritual attentiveness.

Prayer becomes a place of rest rather than striving when believers learn to trust God’s promises and lean into the Spirit’s help. This teaching weaves Scripture with personal testimony, revealing how intercession, worship, perseverance, and even the gift of tongues strengthen believers for spiritual battle. As hearts draw near to God, prayer shifts from emotional effort to Spirit-led partnership, anchoring believers in His presence and releasing His power.

Temptation often begins with something small, but sin creates openings the enemy is quick to exploit. Through vivid illustrations and Scripture, this message shows how disobedience gives Satan footholds, while repentance and obedience close the door. Jesus’ sinlessness becomes the model and the foundation for understanding spiritual “legal rights,” helping believers see both the seriousness of compromise and the freedom found in walking closely with Him.

The demonic realm becomes less frightening and more understandable when viewed through Scripture rather than Hollywood. Allan explains what demons are, how they operate, and how Jesus confronted them with calm authority. He warns against both extremes—ignoring spiritual realities or obsessing over them—and emphasizes discernment, maturity, and confidence in Christ’s victory. Believers are reminded that deliverance rests not in human strength but in the authority of Jesus, the stronger One.

The introduction traces the sweep of the book of Acts, the spread of the gospel through the Roman world, and the remarkable way God used both miracles and messiness to build His church. Listeners are reminded that the same Spirit who empowered the first believers continues His work today, calling the church to live with courage, unity, and unwavering devotion to Jesus.

As the early church grows, believers face persecution, false teaching, and cultural pressure. In letters like 1–2 Thessalonians, Paul strengthens their resolve, reminding them of Christ’s return, God’s justice, and the importance of living with integrity while they wait. Even in uncertainty, these communities learn to persevere, encourage one another, and anchor their hope in the unshakable promises of God.

Paul’s journey to Rome reads like a survival story, yet everywhere he goes the gospel moves forward. A prophetic warning at sea, a storm that shatters the ship, a deadly snake that should have ended his life — none of it slows the work of God. Even in chains, Paul heals the sick, encourages the fearful, and proclaims Christ with boldness. Acts closes with Paul teaching freely in Rome, reminding the church that God’s mission continues even when circumstances feel uncertain.

Peter writes to believers walking through pressure and misunderstanding, reminding them that trials refine rather than destroy. He exposes the enemy’s attempts to intimidate or infiltrate the church and calls God’s people to stand firm with humility, purity, and steadfast hope. Even unfair suffering becomes a place where Christ is revealed. These letters offer courage for anyone learning to follow Jesus in a culture that does not always understand the way of the cross.

Jude and Revelation pull back the curtain on spiritual reality. Jude warns of distortions that creep into the church and urges believers to contend for the truth with both firmness and mercy. Revelation lifts the eyes of the church to the throne of the Lamb, exposing false powers and anchoring hope in Christ’s ultimate victory. With eternity in view, believers learn to stay awake, stay faithful, and trust that Jesus will finish the story He began.

A walk through the Old Testament that reveals the Holy Spirit not as a New Testament afterthought but as an active, personal presence from the opening lines of Scripture. The message traces how the Spirit empowered leaders, guided nations, stirred prophets, brought victory, and breathed life into God’s people long before Pentecost. Listeners begin to see the Spirit’s consistency, creativity, and compassion across the story of Israel, and discover that the One who hovered over the waters is the same One who strengthens believers today.

The life of Jesus highlights how deeply He depended on the Holy Spirit. From conception to baptism, from teaching to miracles, from resisting temptation to rising in power, every moment of Jesus’ ministry is shown to be Spirit-led. The message paints a compelling picture of the Son who never acted independently from the Spirit and the Father, inviting believers to see that the same Spirit who strengthened Jesus is available to guide and empower them now.

A message built around Jesus’ own words about the One He called the Helper. The teaching unfolds His promises that the Spirit would comfort, guide, teach, convict, and remind believers of everything He said. Through Scripture and story, listeners begin to grasp that Jesus did not leave His followers to figure things out alone. Instead, He sent the Spirit to walk with them, speak to them, strengthen them, and continue His work in their lives.

Pentecost marks the moment when God began to dwell with His people in a new and powerful way. This session traces how the Spirit’s arrival reshaped ordinary followers of Jesus and launched the mission of the church. Expect a look at the dramatic shift from fear to boldness, the birth of a Spirit empowered community, and what it means to live with the same presence and fire today.
