[0.00 --> 3.82] and do a little bit of thinking, a little bit of growing, hopefully together. |
[6.04 --> 13.94] We're in a series that is called The Good Fight. |
[16.20 --> 22.90] And we're looking in this series at our fight against the world, the devil, and the flesh. |
[22.90 --> 31.86] It's kind of part of our Lent preparations where we take a look at what's in us and what's around us |
[31.86 --> 40.52] that is causing us to not focus on Christ, maybe, or not be aware enough of how evil has worked in our lives. |
[41.12 --> 45.98] Because when Easter comes, we're celebrating the fact that we are saved from all that brokenness. |
[47.34 --> 50.06] Paul says, fight the good fight of the faith. |
[50.06 --> 56.38] He says, put on the full armor of God so you can stand up against the devil's schemes. |
[57.10 --> 58.42] Because he schemes. |
[59.86 --> 62.60] The devil is called the father of lies. |
[63.04 --> 65.76] So this really is a war on lies. |
[67.24 --> 72.30] We live in a world where sometimes it's hard to figure out what the truth is because there are so many lies around. |
[73.88 --> 79.14] And it's not so much that we tell lies, although we do, but that we live lies. |
[80.06 --> 83.26] And we see them as truth, but they are lies. |
[83.46 --> 87.44] And then they wreak havoc on our souls and havoc on our world. |
[88.52 --> 93.50] In this series, we're looking at these three areas where evil might mess with us. |
[93.58 --> 95.06] And I put it up on a slide here. |
[96.04 --> 97.40] This is kind of the idea here. |
[97.40 --> 100.28] We have this idea of deceptive ideas, lies. |
[100.68 --> 102.38] Deceptive ideas that come from the devil. |
[103.28 --> 105.44] That play to disordered desires. |
[105.92 --> 107.56] That's the flesh at work. |
[108.00 --> 110.98] And that are normalized in the society we live in. |
[111.36 --> 112.58] And that is the world. |
[113.62 --> 116.48] The last two weeks, we've looked closely at the work of the devil. |
[117.04 --> 120.98] And today, we're going to do some looking and thinking on the topic of the flesh. |
[120.98 --> 124.78] Pastor Dave will continue that next week. |
[125.36 --> 131.72] So I'm going to jump into Galatians 5 at this point here and do some thinking with you on this. |
[132.34 --> 134.08] Galatians 5, verse 13. |
[135.38 --> 139.14] You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. |
[140.10 --> 143.18] But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh. |
[143.62 --> 146.72] Rather, serve one another humbly in love. |
[146.72 --> 151.86] Paul is saying, yeah, there's the devil, the father of lies. |
[151.98 --> 154.80] A powerful evil encouraging lies that ruin us. |
[155.08 --> 156.72] That lead to these disordered desires. |
[157.58 --> 160.14] That even mess around with our idea of what freedom really means. |
[160.86 --> 166.48] And he, the devil, fans the flames of pride, lust, greed, hate, fear. |
[166.58 --> 167.52] And we can go on and on. |
[168.14 --> 172.54] The devil gains a foothold in our lives through our sins. |
[172.54 --> 178.62] And the way to deal with the devil is to deal with your sins. |
[179.68 --> 183.42] And also, there's more to our sins and struggles than meets the eye. |
[184.12 --> 185.48] And we need to understand that. |
