    Battlefield Protection

    based on 86 ratings
     | 9,485 views

    We have, through Christ’s power, the ability to reduce our chances of becoming vulnerable to the attacks of Satan.

    WHEN THINKING ABOUT THE SCHEMES OF THE DEVIL DID YOU KNOW THAT ALL THE WARNINGS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT ABOUT CONFLICTS WITH SATAN AND HIS DEMONS ARE ADDRESSED ONLY TO CHRISTIANS? WHY? BECAUSE JESUS SAID THAT HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD. SINCE JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, THE ENEMY WANTS TO DO EVERYTHING ...read more

    This sermon talks about transitions. When God saved Israel and led them into the wilderness it was to transition them, or prepare them for the next step in their journey with God. This sermon has many seeds on lessons to be learnt to position ourselves to

    Authority In The Synagogue Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 1, 2017
     | 12,290 views

    Jesus possesses great wisdom and authority regarding the Word, and He also possesses authority over all creation, humanity, and Satan himself. We face nothing our Lord cannot handle. His power and authority are unmatched and unlimited.

    Authority in the Synagogue Mark 1: 21-28 As we continue moving through the Gospel of Mark, bear in mind that he is writing primarily to a Roman audience, seeking to portray Jesus as the Servant of Men. It is a dialogue that moves rapidly from one event to the next. The fast pace, with which Mark ...read more

    When Jesus Builds The Church

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 79 views

    What It Takes to Be a Light in a Dark World. Jesus calls His church to reject comfort, silence, and spectacle, and stand strong in His presence, Spirit, and Word.

    Picture Jesus, freshly baptized, water still drying on his shoulders, the voice of the Father ringing in his soul. “You are my beloved Son.” The dove has barely taken flight. That is exactly when the devil comes calling. Nobody gets a free victory lap after baptism. The real fight often starts ...read more

    We have a winnable war, because we have a Savior who has already won.

    We are continuing our series focusing on Ephesians. We are just a couple of messages from the end line here, but last week we spoke about spiritual warfare out of Ephesians 6, and I started with a story that is a familiar story in history. The prime minster in Britain 1938 was Neville ...read more

    What is spiritual warfare really about and how as a believer do you defend yourself from attack while not giving ground to Satan?

    How many of you have read Frank Peretti’s books like "This Present Darkness?" Peretti changed the Christian idea of spiritual warfare forever by his descriptions of sliming slithering demons plotting to tempt and attack Christians and keep pre-Christians from giving their lives to Jesus Christ.

    Does every Christian have Eternal Security?

    Holy Security Some have wondered, after being entirely sanctified (living above willful sin), if this work of God in a person’s heart makes one eternally secure. They come to the conclusion that they will never sin again so they will never be lost. This is not true. There is no spiritual plain of ...read more

    Winning The Battle For Your Mind

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 17, 2024
     | 2,005 views

    One of the most important things we need to learn and teach others is how to guard, strengthen, and renew our minds, because the battle for sin always starts in the mind.

    Opening illustration: A violent battle is raging around us twenty-four hours per day. In 1965, Donald Grey Barnhouse wrote a book about it called The Invisible War. It is the battle for your mind, and that battle is vicious. It is intense. It is unrelenting, and it is unfair because Satan never ...read more

    When we consider how adultery abounds, how heinous a sin it is, what evil consequence it brings, & how destructive it is to the spiritual life & even physical life (1 Cor. 6:15-20), it is no wonder that the warnings against it are repeated so often.
