    Romans 8:26-27 NLT
    And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.

    In this episode of the A Ready Defense series, Pastor Jeremy Hanscom explores how a transformed life serves as the most powerful evidence for the reality of a living God. Drawing from the story of "Doubting Thomas," the message highlights that people today are seeking hard evidence of faith found in the character and actions of believers rather than just in books. Pastor Hanscom shares personal stories and scriptural insights to explain that while salvation is a gift, we carry a daily responsibility to let the "new man" in Christ lead our attitudes and decisions. Discover how the Resurrection isn't just a historical event, but a present-day power that can upgrade your relationships, purpose, and daily walk.
