Enemies on SermonAudio

This counseling session addresses the internal struggle with the sinful nature by defining the three primary enemies: the world, the flesh, and Satan. The speaker emphasizes that spiritual freedom flows from biblical absolutes, specifically the believer's union with Christ in His death and resurrection, as outlined in Colossians 3. Using Galatians 5 as the primary text, the session presents a three-step practical framework for overcoming fleshly temptations: maintaining a walk of honesty by acknowledging the reality of sin, affirming one's death to the rule of sin through faith, and actively walking in the Spirit to produce His fruit. The tone is instructional and pastoral, aiming to replace behavioral reform with a faith-based reliance on the Holy Spirit's power for transformation and victory.

When God's Soldiers Forget Who the Enemy Is!. WE'VE GOT THE ARMOUR—BUT WE'RE FIGHTING EACH OTHER! Eph. 6:10–18 KJV My message tells the story of Christians who have studied God's Word, learned about spiritual warfare, and put on the appearance of soldiers—but have forgotten how to love and protect one another. Christians who know their Bibles and can identify every piece of spiritual Armour. Yet a brother has been neglected for years, and a sister sits in church silently carrying her fears. The enemy doesn't have to defeat a church from the outside but insideGod did not give His church spiritual Armour so Christians could destroy one another. He gave us Armour to withstand the devil, stand firm in the faith, and serve together under Jesus Christ.God has provided His people with the whole Armour of God, but what happens when Christians begin fighting one another instead of standing together against the real enemy?This message challenges believers to examine their hearts, restore broken fellowship, encourage the wounded, and remember that our ultimate spiritual battle is not against flesh and blood.Don't leave your brother on the battlefield. Your brother is not your ultimate enemy. Your sister is not your ultimate enemy. The devil is your enemy, and Jesus Christ is your victory!There was a day when every one of us who has been saved was helpless in sin. We could not save ourselves.But Jesus came to rescue us.Above all, it points listeners to Jesus Christ, whose death, burial, and resurrection provide the only way of salvation.Put on the whole Armour of God. Stand firm in His truth. Lift up the wounded. Forgive one another. And stand together for the glory of Jesus Christ!

The sermon explores the distinction between natural affection and the supernatural love that originates from God, asserting that genuine love is the defining hallmark of those born of God. It emphasizes that this divine love is selfless and sacrificial, exemplified by Christ's death, and requires believers to love their enemies rather than seeking personal gain or comfort. The teaching contrasts the fleeting nature of carnal desire with the enduring nature of charity, which is the active expression of love. Furthermore, it explains that being in Christ grants believers an inheritance and freedom from the law of sin and death, positioning them as begotten sons who share in the eternal life of the Only Begotten Son. The message concludes by urging believers to recognize the manifestation of God's love through the Word and to live out this love through practical sacrifice and obedience.

Psalms 25:14 "The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant." King James Version

Psalm 68 is a wonderful psalm of David in which he celebrates God's power and good providence over the affairs of His people. It's a grand song that was sung after God had given David victory and subsequent rest from all his enemies. It's also a glorious psalm in which David speaks prophetically about the Messiah, His ascension into heaven, and the setting up of His kingdom in the world.

This sermon explores Psalm 13 as a profound expression of the paradox inherent in the Christian life, where human anguish coexists with divine truth. The text moves through three distinct stages, beginning with the desperate question of "how long" God will hide His face, shifting to a plea for spiritual illumination, and culminating in a declaration of trust in God's steadfast love. By referencing Martin Luther and 2 Corinthians, the message illustrates that while believers may feel abandoned or sorrowful, they are never buried by their enemies because their hope is anchored in the unchanging character of God. The sermon affirms that lamentation is a valid human response to suffering, yet it always leads to joy-filled trust when the believer looks beyond their circumstances to the covenant faithfulness of Christ.

That many people from all nations will be included in the census of the Lord's people is a truth already made known in the Old Testament.
