Beneath our tangible landscape lurks an invisible spiritual realm where unseen battles rage. It’s a serious enemy we are up against, and Ephesians 6 offers us a serious solution—to unlock the strength we can find in the Lord and in His mighty power.

Paul claims to know the “secret” to contentment in all circumstances. Through his experiences, both good and bad, he’s realized, and he reveals to us, the key to contentment: knowing Jesus and being filled with His power and presence.

Paul’s goal is to “know Christ Jesus,” and he says everything else is “garbage” by comparison. May our sole goal be to walk so closely with Jesus that the way we see God, ourselves, and others is completely transformed and everything else is garbage

As followers of Jesus, our actions matter, but Paul reminds us where our actions ought to flow from and what they ought to be for. The source of our transformed lives and actions is not our own tenacious effort, but the very work of God in us.

Paul encourages us that, through Jesus, we can reframe the way we see the world, understanding that our struggles and setbacks can be used by God. Often the first step is lifting our eyes up from our situation to focus on how God is at work.

As Paul, who is writing from prison, begins his letter to the Philippians, he frames his entire life in confidence that no matter what he faces, God has purpose within it. Paul reveals a mindset that we, as believers, want to take hold of.

Elijah is a Biblical hero, person of faith, and prophet who battled extreme despair, hopelessness, and a feeling of being alone. When it seemed like there was no motivation for him to move forward, God met Elijah in a whisper and cared for him.

While described as a “mighty warrior,” Gideon—selected by God to deliver the Israelites from oppression—isn’t intimidating. His fear blinds him to the fact that salvation is not dependent on the proficiency of humans but, instead, the power of God.

Samson’s arrogance takes on many forms, including, in some cases, abusing his God-given strength for personal gain. His strength, ultimately, is one of his greatest weaknesses. His metaphorical blind spot becomes the reason for his literal blindness.

The first person born, Cain blazed the trail of blind spots. Before Cain kills his brother, God warns: “Sin is crouching at your door.” But blinded to his anger, Cain makes a devastating decision, kindling the fire of violence yet to be extinguished.

Have you ever been hurt by a friend? Jesus has. Maybe you feel like God isn't listening? Jesus knows what that’s like. No matter what you’re facing, Jesus understands because He’s Been There. Are there areas of life you’re constantly trying to control? In Proverbs 3:5, the Bible tells us to trust in the Lord with all of our heart. But how is that possible? In this message, we’re learning how t...
