The Seen Battle, The Unseen Enemy // What's the Devil Doing Today
MOST RECENT GUIDE
Sunday, September 28th, 2025
Each Sunday that you come together with your Community Group, we encourage you to spend time centering on
God’s presence through worship, learning from the scriptures, praying, and just spending time together.
Up to date message slides will be available by the following Monday Morning.
TAKEAWAY: Prayer is our greatest weapon in spiritual warfare.
HEAD CHANGE: The devil works through deception, temptation, division, and false doctrine.
HEART CHANGE: Our authority over spiritual forces comes from knowing Jesus, not just knowing about Him.
LIFE CHANGE: The devil works through deception, temptation, division, and false doctrine.
In this powerful exploration of spiritual warfare, we're challenged to recognize the unseen battle raging around us. Drawing from Ephesians 6, we're reminded that our struggle isn't against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. This message urges us to equip ourselves with God's armor, emphasizing that our weapons are not of this world. We're encouraged to start our days with scripture before screens, to take in only what we can pray for, and to use our words as tools for prayer rather than weapons against each other. The parallels drawn between invisible germs causing disease and invisible spiritual forces affecting our world provide a compelling analogy for understanding spiritual warfare. This message is deeply relevant to our daily lives, calling us to be aware of the devil's schemes and to stand firm in our faith, especially in times of cultural unrest and division.

Philippians 4:6-7
