Spiritual Warfare: the unseen battle
Our world is caught in a battle that cannot be seen with human eyes. The Bible show us the reality of spiritual warfare, the strategies of our enemy, the victory of Christ, and the weapons God gives us to stand strong. In this series we’ll learn how to resist the devil, overcome fear, guard our minds, and walk in the authority and victory of Jesus.
You can find the group discussion guide for the series here.
31/8 The battle we cannot see
Our struggle is not against people but against spiritual forces of evil. God can open our eyes to the reality of this unseen war. The battle is real, but we are not alone. His power surrounds and protects us. Ephesians 6:10–12; 2 Kings 6:15–17.
7/9 The enemy’s schemes vs Christ’s authority
Satan deceives, tempts, and accuses us, but his power is limited and Jesus’ authority is supreme. We’ll unpack the enemy’s tactics (lies, temptation, accusation). We’ll show Jesus’ absolute authority over darkness and how we confront spiritual powers in his name. Genesis 3:1–7; Luke 10:17–20; Mark 5:1–20.
14/9 Fighting temptation and battling fear
Temptation and fear are two of the enemy’s fiercest weapons. God equips us with truth, faith, and his presence to overcome. We’ll talk about practical steps to live free from both of these things using faith and prayer. Matthew 4:1–11; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Philippians 4:6–9; 2 Timothy 1:7.
21/9 One off message
We will pause the series for a one-off message from a guest speaker
28/9 Guarding your mind
The enemy attacks our thoughts with lies, accusations, and destructive patterns. We need to identify the battle in our thought life and learn to replace lies with truth. We’ll emphasise spiritual disciplines: scripture, prayer, worship, community. 2 Corinthians 10:3–5; Romans 12:2; John 8:31–32.
5/10 The weapons and armour of spiritual warfare
God has given us armour to stand firm and weapons to advance against darkness. We’ll highlight spiritual weapons like worship, fasting, prayer and forgiveness. Ephesians 6:13–18; 2 Corinthians 10:3–5.
12/10 The final victory
Christ has already triumphed over Satan at the cross, and one day the battle will be over forever. We fight from victory, not for victory. We will anchor the series in hope. Jesus wins. The enemy is defeated. We are called to endure and overcome as victorious children of God. One day, the war will end and we will reign with him forever. Colossians 2:13–15; Revelation 12:10–11; Revelation 19:11–16; 21:1–7.
