In a world of wizards and witches, an enemy, that no one was allowed to mention caused a lot of problems. In the real world, Christ-followers have an enemy as well. However, unlike the Harry Potter Universe Christ follower's enemy is real and should be named. If we don't name our enemy we may walk around and think it's people. This week we will look at scripture to tell us who our true enemy is!

Setting Your Mind

November 3, 2024 • Chris Edmondson • 2 Corinthians 2:14, 2 Corinthians 10:5, Romans 12:1–2, 1 John 4:4, Romans 7:14–25

One of the most significant spiritual battles we face is in our minds. While Satan plays a role in this struggle, the real challenge lies within us. Our thoughts shape who we are, and learning to control them is key to victory. The Big Idea: The battleground for faith is in the mind.

How Do We Fight?

October 27, 2024 • Jimmy Lancaster • Ephesians 6:10–17

As we continue the Defense Against the Dark Arts series, we focus on the spiritual battles that we all face daily. These battles are often unseen but very real, and God has given us the tools we need to defend ourselves and stand firm. This week, we'll explore the armor of God described in Ephesians 6 and learn how each piece equips us to face the enemy’s schemes. Are you ready for battle? THE BIG IDEA: God gives us His armor to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy, and live in victory.

How Does Our Enemy Fight?

October 20, 2024 • Seth Miller • Matthew 4:1–10, Luke 1, Genesis 2:18, Genesis 3:1–5, 1 Peter 5:8

Scripture tells us that our enemy is unseen but does not claim that his schemes are also invisible. So, if you can’t see the enemy to fight him, you fight his schemes! Satan uses his demons and all kinds of schemes to keep us from knowing and doing God's will. All through scripture we have examples of the enemy finding victory of people, but we also have examples of what victory of the enemy's schemes looks like. Jesus shows us how to fight and be the most likely and most dangerous course of action the enemy takes. THE BIG IDEA: Knowing God’s word is the only way to end the schemes of the enemy.
