Your strongest defense against evil (is not what you think)

Biblical teaching on spiritual warfare, the battle for your mind, and training your thoughts toward Christ. From Pastor Mike's 2024 sermon series, "How to Fight" on The Book of Ephesians Most people try to fight their hardest battles alone, and it is the worst strategy. In this message, we talk about why the best defense against evil is the right community, why isolation amplifies anxiety and depression, and how the church is meant to function as a place of healing, not performance. We also revisit the armor of God (Ephesians 6) and see a powerful case study in Mark 2 where four friends carry a paralyzed man to Jesus. Welcome to Grace. We’re glad you’re here.
