Because we are ‘in Christ’ warfare looks like standing in the authority of Christ. The battle over satan was won at the cross. So we are not battling with satan we are simply standing in the finished work of what Christ has accomplished and resisting him. 

To sow to the Spirit is to release yourself from the pressure of achieving outcomes. Releasing yourself from the pressure of getting answers or trying to change your heart yourself. In the midst of hard emotions you can sow to the Spirit by sowing scripture into your emotions. It’s not about you, it’s just a life surrendered to the Spirit.

The heart of a martyr is simply one who wants Jesus in every part of their life and wants to reflect His beauty. In this sermon, Steve Fry will unpack thoughts about the tribulation as it pertains to believers and living a life of true prayer and worship. 

Before the first seal is broken and the end-time clock is set in motion, followers of Jesus will be found in every tribe, nation and tongue. When Christ is about to break the first seal, a sound of worship will come forth in the earth unparalleled in human history! Don’t let the spirit of the age suffocate your faith! Worldwide worship is a sign that Christ is about to open the scroll! 

Unity is the intimacy of knowing and being known for exactly who we are in order to simply delight in each other and value what we can become together. We develop love by entering the way The Spirit binds us together. Unity is love expressed in fellowship: Being in the scriptures together, practicing hospitality toward each other,  praying together, having a common mission.

Because we have lost sight of the truth that our identity in Christ means our identity as members of His Body, we haven't had the sufficient desire for unity. If we rightly understand our faith, we will come into unity. Excellence should be based in our mutual desire to help each other thrive and flourish and our gifts.

When the book of Hebrews talks about Christ making intercession for us, it is not just about Christ praying for us. It is about Christ extending the power of his blood to us. One of the reasons we stand NOT condemned, is so that we can know the piercing love of conviction of sin without becoming anxious that we have lost the favor of God.

There are great joys in conflicts because it is how we discover God as our Rock, our Refuge and our Shield! If we want to be found faithful we need to be ready for pressures that would tempt us to be faithless. If we want to know the power of God our Rock and the great relief of God our Refuge, then we need to embrace the only ways we can ever know these blessings of God: the times of warfare. 

Ever wondered what your purpose is? Your purpose is to be the image of God on this earth! You get to live your best life when you are your unique self, the way God created you to be, reflecting the image of Jesus in you. Reflecting Christ is the way we experience His resurrection life right now! Join as we hear this special Easter message from Steve Fry.
