The truth is we all struggle with addiction. Some of us are addicted to chemicals, some of us are addicted to relationships, and some of us are addicted to a feeling. Jesus came to set us free but often we don't experience that freedom in our everyday lives. What does it take to break addiction? It starts by admitting the truth.

Much of the battle in spiritual warfare involves the process of discernment, and getting a clear handle on which spirits are from God and which are not. John gives us his great word of victory when he says: "Greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world."

I firmly believe that the Enemy has one primary tool in his bag of tricks: "the lie." To the extent that he can get us to believe his lies, to that extent he has power over us. But to extent we hold fast to the truth, he has no power over us.

The issue of defending unborn life in our culture is something that will be won or lost in the hearts and lives of individuals, and we as followers of Christ have the wonderful opportunity to be the "aroma of life" to the world around us. Our God creates life, he sustains life, he redeems life, and he offers us eternal life, all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There are other characters involved in our cosmic drama than the humans we see around us, and we are not the only ones on stage. In this message we will look at the nature of some of God's other creatures, and the role they play in our spiritual warfare.
January 2: Rumors of Another World
Pastor John Martz • Ephesians 6:10-17 • 27:00

The purpose of this message is to introduce us to the reality of what is often called the "spiritual realm." God is an incredible Creator, and the testimony of Scripture is that his work of creation is far larger than our limited, finite existence. What sort of realities did he create in addition to ours, and what sort of interaction is there between the various layers of God's creative work?
