The final week of Rooted, on the local church: what happens when a body of Christ followers locks shields with one purpose.
1 Peter 3 on sharing the good news, taught through Peter himself — a witness who got some things very right and stepped in others.

1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 — living to please God, taken from the NIV heading, on sanctification, self-control and not wronging a brother or sister.
Ecclesiastes 4 and spiritual warfare, asking which tools you are actually fighting with — weapons of the flesh, or the ones given for demolishing strongholds.
How to face hard times, and the answer is prayer — whose chief secret is simply praying. Nouwen's line: turning the monologue in your head into a dialogue with God.
