A Time For War | Nathan Bentley

In this compelling sermon, Pastor Nathan discusses the ongoing spiritual war for human souls and criticizes the contemporary church's neglect of this truth. He delves deeply into Matthew 16, emphasizing the spiritual warfare depicted and highlighting Peter's profound confession about Jesus being the Son of God. The sermon covers how Christians are redeemed from the power, but not the presence, of darkness and stresses the importance of recognizing and combating the daily demonic temptations. Pastor Nathan also underscores the church's role in building each other up against these spiritual battles, encouraging genuine repentance and deliverance from strongholds. Using numerous scriptural references, he aims to awaken Christians to their spiritual authority and the significance of taking every thought captive in obedience to Christ.
