A Good Fight
July 28, 2024 • Steve Deane • Romans 10:17, 1 Timothy 6:12, 2 Timothy 4:7, Hebrews 11:1
In this powerful message, we're challenged to engage in the 'fight of faith' - not against others, but for our own spiritual imagination. We explore how our mental images, shaped by the words we hear and keep, profoundly impacts our emotions leading to decisions that ultimately, create our reality. The sermon encourages us to fill our minds with God's promises and Jesus' teachings, seeing God through Jesus’ perspective of love, forgiveness, and victory over darkness. This fight for our imagination is crucial in maintaining an optimistic, hope-filled outlook on our families, society, and the future of creation itself.
