[0.00 --> 2.38] you lead us into worship and that really is a gift. |
[9.16 --> 13.00] Well, we're going to continue our series called The Good Fight. |
[13.78 --> 18.48] And we've been opening up over the last couple weeks the way in which the Christian life is a life of struggle. |
[19.06 --> 25.10] It's a life of battle against the flesh, against idolatrous patterns in our world, and against Satan. |
[25.62 --> 30.04] Pastor Jonathan last week preached on the way in which Jesus, before his earthly ministry began, |
[30.50 --> 32.08] was tempted by Satan in the wilderness. |
[32.78 --> 38.88] And this morning we're looking at how that same scheme of Satan, the same tempting of Satan, is present in our lives today. |
[39.24 --> 42.76] And we want to look not only at its reality, but how we take our stand. |
[42.90 --> 47.32] So if you have your Bible, whether it's physical or digital, turn with me to Ephesians 6, |
[47.42 --> 50.96] and we're going to read some pretty important words about spiritual warfare. |
[55.10 --> 59.70] Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. |
[60.72 --> 65.54] Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. |
[66.58 --> 72.50] For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, |
[73.12 --> 78.28] against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. |
[78.28 --> 83.00] Therefore, put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, |
[83.24 --> 88.60] you may be able to take to stand your ground, and after everything is done, to stand. |
[89.72 --> 92.94] Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, |
[93.48 --> 95.72] with the breastplate of righteousness in place, |
[96.00 --> 100.08] and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. |
[100.84 --> 103.34] In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, |
[103.46 --> 106.76] with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. |
[106.76 --> 112.04] Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, |
[112.72 --> 117.40] and pray in the Spirit on all occasions, with all kinds of prayers and requests. |
[117.78 --> 122.66] With this in mind, be alert, and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people. |
[122.66 --> 130.66] A few years ago now, I had the privilege of leading an alpha class. |
[131.20 --> 134.92] An alpha, if you're not sure what it is, is meant to introduce the Christian faith |
