Overcoming the Flesh

J.C. Thompson | 3/16/2025

The battle is real: it's the struggle between the life God offers and the desires of our flesh. The enemy uses our own weaknesses to pull us away from God's best for us, but we don’t have to fight on our own. By staying watchful, praying, and diving into God’s Word, we can guard our hearts and resist temptation. The victory isn’t in our own effort, but in surrendering to the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live the life God intended.

Victory in Identity

February 23, 2025

When we are adopted into God's family through Christ, everything changes. Our old life is gone, replaced by an unshakeable identity as God's children. This means we’re not just saved from sin, but invited into a life filled with love, peace, and purpose. The enemy may try to distort this identity, but knowing our worth as God's children allows us to stand firm in His promises.
