Darkness and Light: Acknowledging the Darkness
Sunday Oct 23, 2022
Sunday Oct 23, 2022
As we enter the Halloween season, we begin our new series Darkness and Light acknowledging the reality, power, and lack-there-of, of the real enemy. As Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. (NLT)
This week we talk about the real enemy and the authority given the Believer by Jesus over him.
Join us next week for our next message focusing on the Light, and stick around for some fun with our Trunk or Treat. Connect with us at encounterthrive.com or on Facebook @encounterthrive.
