Our Spiritual Battle I Corinthians 10:11-13

Our Spiritual Battle We live in a world with: – Video Games – Fantasy Sports – Dramas and Soap Operas – Even Reality TV is scripted It’s easy for us to get lost in this “Virtual World”

Our Spiritual Battle Inevitably, whatever goes on in the world, creeps into the church This makes us ask if this spiritual battle is really real to people It’s also due to the conversations we have with one another weekly

Our Spiritual Battle Too often we simply put on a smile and hide our struggle with our Christian mask Putting on a fake smile and hiding our true selves is the opposite of what a Christian should do How many times did Jesus use the term hypocrite (actor/pretender)?

Our Spiritual Battle Not world’s definition of a hypocrite (I’m a Christian, but I sin) A hypocrite is the one who says, “I’m a Christian, I’m/Everything is perfect” This morning we wish to consider 2 points on our spiritual battle…

Personal Level We need to realize that the spiritual battle we are in is real on a personal level I John 1:5-10 If we are truthful, then we admit that sin is a real threat Paul said that all have sinned (Rom. 3:23)

Personal Level This should teach us that the fight against temptation is real I Peter 5:8 I Corinthians 10:12-13 The spiritual battle was real to Christ (Matt. 4)

Personal Level It was real to Paul (Rom. 7:14-24) If Paul struggled with sin, who are we to say that we do not? The world we live in today is not much different in the fact that there are temptations all around us

Personal Level People struggle today with: – Honesty – Tongue (Js. 3) – Alcohol – Drugs – Sexual Sins

Personal Level The solution is to humble ourselves before God and others Pride can keep us from admitting this struggle is real We must not be in denial, but rather be sober and aware We can lean on our brethren for help

Kingdom Level The church of our Lord is in a struggle as well – False Teachers – Atheists – Universities (Public) – Government – Those who push/promote evil

Kingdom Level Ephesians 6:10-12 We do not merely battle against personal temptations, but as the body of Christ, we battle against all that would exalt itself against Christ We need to do a better job of this

Kingdom Level Solution is changing the hearts and lives of men through the gospel message We need to be proactive in our faith, not just reactive We need to take the fight to Satan by spreading the message of Jesus
