Jesus has won the ultimate victory over sin, death and Satan. However, Satan still has power to tempt and deceive on earth until Jesus returns at his second coming. So, as we walk out our Christian life, we will face spiritual battles. Yet, Jesus has equipped us to stand in these battles. Find strength and confidence as we dive into the armor God has given us for the times of battle.

The spiritual battle we live in is real and so is our enemy - Satan. That is why it is important we understand who he is, what tactics he uses against us, and how we can stand in the victory God has already won for us.

As Christians, we can easily forget the spiritual war that rages around us. But, we are needed to rise up in the battle, not sit on the sidelines. In what ways can we stay focused on what really matters, and what are the consequences of living a distracted life?

There is no denying that if the Church does not rise up and fight for the next generation, they will quickly get swept up into the current of worldliness and unbelief right before our eyes. Something must be done! So, how far are we willing to go in order to fight for the precious souls of our young people? What if the solution is so simple that we can easily miss it while looking for something that sounds more grand and noble?

"Don't have sex before you are married." For most of us who grew up in Christian homes, we probably had this command ingrained into our brains. Why? Because sexual intimacy is one of the most special and exclusive gifts God has given to a husband and wife and it should be guarded and saved for marriage. However, if we emphasize that the main goal of a young Christian is to merely maintain your virginity until marriage, then we are missing the boat - BIG TIME. Christians shouldn't be solely pursuing virginity, but rather aiming for a life of purity.

Paul warns of a time when people will surrounds themselves with others that are willing to tell them what they want to hear, things that go against the Bible. However, before we move on feeling confident that this verse is talking just about others, we need to stop and honestly evaluate our own lives. We may all be surprised by what we find.

The desire to be liked is normal, but this can quickly become an idol when our need for approval starts to consume us and we begin to compromise on God's Word to fit in. Chasing after people's approval is a game you can't win. Yet, when we defeat this idol with the truths of the Bible and live with the sole purpose to please God we find great freedom and adventure.

We all are drawn to things that promise to satisfy the desires of our flesh. However, we can see that worshiping at the idol of pleasure will never satisfy us or bring us lasting joy. Learn why it is so important that we identify the ways this idol presents itself in our lives and see that what Jesus freely offers us is so much better.

It's easy to talk about idolatry and worship as general terms, but it gets much more personal when we start to examine our own lives for idols that may be present in our hearts. How do we discover what idols we may be worshiping, and more importantly, how does God help us find freedom from them?

Idolatry is something we all struggle with on a daily basis whether we know it or not. God commands us to have no other gods and to love him with all our heart. In this podcast episode, we want to take a real look at what idolatry is and how worship goes hand-in-hand with it. So let's dive deep and walk away challenged and encouraged!
