#414 - Ben Stuart // What Changes When You Know The King Went First

We name the Christian life for what it often feels like: a real fight, not a vague self-improvement plan. We anchor our courage in the gospel truth that Jesus goes to war for us first, then calls us to fight from freedom. 
• the Word of God as the Sword of the Spirit and why that matters for men 
• spirituality as adversity and why struggle is normal 
• 1 John 3:8 and Jesus’ purpose to destroy the works of the devil 
• the HALO jump story as a picture of Christmas as rescue 
• the Bible’s invasion theme from Genesis to the Gospels 
• Hebrews 2:14, the cross, and freedom from the fear of death 
• Colossians 1, transfer from darkness to the beloved Son’s kingdom 
• condemnation as Satan’s weapon and how the cross disarms it 
• courage to fight sin when we know the King fought first
