THE UNSEEN: A Charge to Stand Strong (A Series in Spiritual Warfare)

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Ephesians 6:10 (Ephesians 1:3 & 18-19; 2:1; 3:16; 4:22-23; 6:10-11 & 16; 1 Corinthians 14:33; James 3:16; 2 Corinthians 5:17)

 

Good news: if you are saved, you’re already on the winning side!

Yes, we’re in a very real—yet unseen—battle. But take heart: our God has already won the war. That’s the foundation Paul lays as he opens his teaching on spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6:10.

This verse isn’t just a command—it’s a charge, a challenge, and a pep talk all in one. Before we even begin putting on the armor of God, Paul reminds us of something crucial: our identity.

We don’t fight in our own strength. On our own, we’re weak—and we will fall. But in Christ, we are strong, and we are called to stand firm in Him.

 

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.
