THE UNSEEN: Stand on Truth (A Series in Spiritual Warfare)

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - ​Ephesians 6:13-14 (Ephesians 6:13-14; James 1:22; John 8:32; 14:6; 16:13; 17:17; 18:38; Proverbs 16:25; Romans 3:4)
 
Do you ever feel frustrated scrolling through social media, trying to figure out what’s real? Clickbait headlines, AI-generated images, and misleading content are everywhere. It’s easy to feel lost in a sea of confusion and lies. But deep down, we all crave one thing: truth.In spiritual warfare, the first piece of armor God tells us to put on is the belt of truth. It comes first because truth defeats the lies of Satan. Without it, nothing else holds together.So ask yourself: Do you know the truth? Are you living by the truth of God’s Word? If we want to stand firm in the battle, we have to start with absolute truth.
 
Series description:
We serve the living God—He is alive, active, and working in the world today! This is a truth we celebrate and stand on. But we must also acknowledge another reality: we have an enemy who is also alive, active, and at work.
There is an unseen war happening around us every day. Satan’s attacks aren’t always visible, but they’re deeply felt—through broken lives, damaged marriages, and chains of addiction, anxiety, and depression.
Do you know your enemy?Do you know who you are in Christ?Do you know what God has already given you to stand firm and fight back?
You don’t have to live in defeat. God has equipped you with everything you need to stand your ground and live in victory. The Unseen is real—but we are on the winning side.

THE UNSEEN: The Enemies Warfare (A Series in Spiritual Warfare)

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Ephesians 6:11-12 (Ephesians 6:11-12; John 1:4; 8:44; 13:35; 14:6; 1 Peter 5:8; 1 Corinthians 6:19; 13:6; Proverbs 4:23; 23:7; 24:17; Isaiah 5:20; 1 John 3:15; 2 Corinthians 2:11; Genesis 2:9; 3:1, 3-4, 6 & 12; Revelation 12:9; Matthew 4:3; 2 Timothy 2:26; James 1:15; Mark 3:25)
 
If we’re going to win this unseen battle, we must first know our enemy. And make no mistake—he knows you. He knows your patterns, your weaknesses, and your potential. He doesn’t just attack randomly—he operates with a calculated, strategic plan designed to take you out.Ephesians makes it clear: Satan is our enemy, and it doesn’t stop there—it also reveals his methods. His warfare is not chaotic; it’s powerful, intentional, and devastatingly effective. After all, he’s had thousands of years to refine his tactics.But here’s the good news: God has exposed the enemy’s plans. Through His Word, we are not left in the dark. Scripture shines a light on the enemy’s strategies and gives us everything we need to stand strong. We don’t have to fall for his traps—because God has already uncovered them. It’s time to wake up, armor up, and expose the enemy’s warfare.

It is important to give thanks to God for all He has done for us over the past 60 years. He has richly blessed us, and we give Him all the praise and glory.
In the book of Ephesians, Paul speaks of how God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. Then, he makes a powerful transition with the word “Now…” — a word that signals continuation and expectation. It reminds us that God is not finished yet. There is more to come!
God still has great plans for us. He is able to use our church in this generation for His glory!

Good news: if you are saved, you’re already on the winning side!Yes, we’re in a very real—yet unseen—battle. But take heart: our God has already won the war. That’s the foundation Paul lays as he opens his teaching on spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6:10.This verse isn’t just a command—it’s a charge, a challenge, and a pep talk all in one. Before we even begin putting on the armor of God, Paul reminds us of something crucial: our identity.We don’t fight in our own strength. On our own, we’re weak—and we will fall. But in Christ, we are strong, and we are called to stand firm in Him.
