THE UNSEEN: Stay Focused on the Fight (A Series in Spiritual Warfare)

Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 (2 Corinthians 3:5-6; 4:1-6; 5:7; 10:1-10 & 12-16; 12:7-10; Matthew 11:28-30; Ephesians 4:26-27; 1 Corinthians 3:3-7; Philippians 2:9-11)

 

The Christian life is a battle, but it’s not fought with human weapons.

In 2 Corinthians 10:1–6, Paul reminds us that our standard is Jesus, our strength comes from God, and our mission is to faithfully proclaim the Gospel.

In this message, we’ll unpack how Paul turned criticism into an opportunity to point believers back to Christ, why spiritual strongholds like false philosophies and entrenched lies can only be torn down through God’s power, and how we can live in obedience while waiting for the final victory of Christ.

Don’t get distracted by comparison or self-promotion! Instead stay focused on the fight, trust His power, and proclaim the truth that brings real freedom.

 

Series description:

We serve the living God—He is alive, active, and working in the world today! This is a truth we celebrate and stand on. But we must also acknowledge another reality: we have an enemy who is also alive, active, and at work.

There is an unseen war happening around us every day. Satan’s attacks aren’t always visible, but they’re deeply felt—through broken lives, damaged marriages, and chains of addiction, anxiety, and depression.

Do you know your enemy?
Do you know who you are in Christ?
Do you know what God has already given you to stand firm and fight back?

You don’t have to live in defeat. God has equipped you with everything you need to stand your ground and live in victory. The Unseen is real—but we are on the winning side.
