Preparing For Battle (Part 3) — Michael Yearley (Ephesians 6:17)

Michael continues our journey through God’s armor, exploring the next two pieces and showing how to apply them in everyday life—trusting God and keeping our eyes on the what’s ahead. He also explains how all five pieces we’ve covered so far work together to strengthen and protect us.

As we head into a new season of Life Groups, Joel reminds us of the importance of community and the power of doing life together. He also shares three relational commitments essential to becoming the church of Jesus.

Spiritual warfare is real, but God has given us what we need to stand firm. This week, Michael continues our mini-series by examining the first three pieces of the armor of God and showing how we can live them out by embracing truth, living righteously, and pursuing peace.

This week, we take a deeper look at spiritual warfare as the Apostle Paul helps us better understand our true enemy. As we recognize the enemy’s strategy and timing, we also see how victory is already secured through Christ and how we can stand strong in Him.

Everyday Jesus — Andres Carias (Colossians 2:16-23)

The Bible teaches a supernatural worldview—where the physical and spiritual are both real, constantly overlapping, and at war. This week, we continue our sub-series on spiritual warfare as Michael introduces two important principles to deepen our understanding of the unseen war around us.

In “The Cosmic Christ” this week, we begin a new focus on spiritual warfare as Pastor Michael shows how the cross was Jesus’ decisive victory over the powers of darkness. We also learn that this battle is real, and when we come to Christ, we switch sides—living with both His authority and His protection.

As we continue our series in Colossians, we explore what it means to be the true circumcision—those who transformed by the Spirit, not by ritual, and made new through the cross of Christ.

This week, Michael dives into the concept of syncretism—the blending of beliefs, practices, or ideas from different cultures or religions. He also shares how this remains just as much a concern for modern Christ-followers as it was for the early church.
