SUBLIME: Ephesians – Week 22 | Ryan Falls

Life is War – Ephesians 6:10-13

Life is war

• Our battle (1 Peter 5:8-9)
• Our enemy (Genesis 3:1-5, Isaiah 14:`12-15, John 8:44, 1 John 3:8, 2 Peter 2:4)

Enemy strategy

• The endgame (john 10:10)
• A complex scheme
  • It’s systemic
  • It’s personal

Invited to engage

• Finding strength
• God’s armor
• Your resolve

Discussion Questions:

• How does our world conceive of evil? How does this passage and the Bible imagine it?
• How do you experience spiritual warfare in your own life?
• In what ways do you see spiritual warfare as systemic in our world? In what ways is it personal?
• What is the endgame of evil? Where do you see this playing out in your own life?
• Why are we so passive in our engagement with evil? How will/do you engage darkness?
