    based on 1 rating
     | 7,612 views

    As believers in Jesus Christ, we are engaged in spiritual warfare with unseen wicked forces. To overcome our enemy in the power of the Holy Spirit, we must remain resolute in our confidence in God and determine never to accept defeat. -

    THE BELIEVER AND SPIRITUAL WARFARE Study Text: Ephesians 6:10-18 Introduction: - Most Christians have forgotten that the Christian life is not a playground, but a battlefield.

    - MYTHS CHRISTIANS SOMETIMES BELIEVE - God Just Wants Me To Be Happy Introduction We are continuing our series of Myths Christians Sometimes Believe. In the last message, we talked about the myth that “God Won’t Give Me More Than I Can Handle.” Our myth in this message is a common one: “God Just ...read more
