How To Stand Against Darkness

About this episode

The episode discusses engaging in spiritual warfare through the lens of the book of Ephesians and a visit to Caesarea Philippi.

We are wrapping up our journey through the book of Ephesians by looking at what it truly means to engage in spiritual warfare. In this teaching, we take a "field trip" to Caesarea Philippi—a place known in the ancient world as the "Gates of Hades"—to understand why Jesus chose the darkest backdrops to make His most powerful declarations. Key Takeaways: - The Battle is Real: We aren't fighting against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces. - The Victory is Won: We don't fight for victory; we fight from the victory Jesus already purchased. - Stand Firm: Standing firm doesn’t mean standing still—it means planting your feet and being ready to take territory for the Kingdom. If you feel like the world is shaky, remember that building your life on the Rock makes you unshakable.
