Mind Games

Aug 2, 2026    James Stalker

Drawing from 2 Corinthians 10:3-8, this sermon challenges believers to recognize and walk in the spiritual authority given to them through Christ. The pastor confronts the danger of comfortable Christianity, where believers become passive consumers of faith rather than active participants in the gospel mission. He argues that the enemy's primary strategy is not outright opposition but subtle misdirection, turning our attention inward toward self-sufficiency, material security, and personal achievement. True spiritual warfare requires believers to be grounded in prayer and scripture, committed to a church body, and actively serving rather than spectating. The sermon calls for surrender, discipline, and humility as the foundations of a faith that can withstand the enemy's mind games.
