New Bible Study for Fall 2007!

The X-Trials Bible Study Group will start up on Thursday, August 30, 2007 at 7pm; we'll be meeting at Starbucks as usual.

The new study will be based on Charles Stanley's book, "When the Enemy Strikes." For the last two studies we have been learning how to live the Christian life to the X-treme. With this study, we'l take it up a notch. At some point every Christian will experience a satanic attack-a willful, determined assault by the Devil to harm our spirit, soul, or body. God wants Christians to be under His control, but the Enemy will do his best to destroy everything good in our lives. So the question is not how to avoid satanic attacks, but how to overcome them.

Satan is a very powerful adversary. However, God does not leave us to defend ourselves, and He wants us to understand His supernatural and unlimited ability to help us. This Bible Study will show us how to achieve victory by:

* Identifying the enemy
* Dressing in the full armor of God and standing firm
* Releasing God's energy, divine power, and protection through prayer
* Sensing the forewarnings of Satan's attacks on finances, family, relationships, or health

Spiritual warfare is fought every day on the battlefield of your mind. The Adversary knows that if he can direct your thinking, it's only a matter of time before you're vulnerable to the allure of sin. Dr. Stanley teaches that to stand against Satan's attacks, you must meditate upon biblical principles and arm yourself with the sword of the spirit-God's Word.
