#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 share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating in review Support the show Want to connect?
