Spiritual Warfare

Spiritual Warfare

Spiritual warfare is a topic that can be neglected or overly stressed in churches. As followers of Christ, it is important to recognize that there is a spiritual side to our world, in which principalities and powers are in opposition to the ways of God. In Christ, we can overcome and resist these influences both individually and collectively. From July 2007, the first two weeks of this 3-week sermon series cover the topic of spiritual warfare. The series concludes with a Q&A sermon with Greg and Paul.

A War-Torn Creation07/15/07

  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Creation, Pain & Suffering, Spiritual Warfare
  • We live in a war-torn world of pain, hurt, violence and death. This is not how God intended creation to look. The Good News is God has sent his Son, Jesus, to defeat the powers of death, and to begin reconciling and redeeming the world unto God. When Jesus rebukes the storm mentioned in Luke 8:22-26, he is giving us a foretaste of the ultimate victory and restoration that is to come.

Lessons on the Battlefield07/22/07

  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Problem of Evil, Spiritual Warfare, Presence of God
  • Spiritual warfare is a present reality in our war-torn world. There are principalities and powers, often unseen, which influence and distort what is true about God and His Creation. As followers of Christ, we do not need to fear these things. Rather, we are called to live in the truth of who we are in Christ, being filled with God’s Spirit and power, to come against and resist the strongholds and lies.
