Teaching Series•EP 136•Armor of God•Part 1 of 7

The Battle is Real

Paul doesn’t want us to be naïve about the fact that we’re engaged in a cosmic struggle with the forces of evil. Unfortunately, most of us are oblivious to the fact that there’s more going on than meets the eye. And because we’re unaware, we’re often ill-equipped to face the challenges. During these challenges, we are called to put on the full Armor of God. By the end of the first episode of this series, you’ll possess a greater awareness of the struggle in which we’re all engaged and a clearer understanding of how God means for us to respond to the reality of spiritual warfare.

Discussion Questions

  1. What was your biggest takeaway from the teaching?
  2. Describe a situation in your life where you sensed that struggle between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Evil was playing out in your life?
  3. What do you think of NT Wright’s suggestion that when it comes to the idea of spiritual warfare, most people either ignore it or over-indulge it? Where would you place yourself on that spectrum?
  4. Because human beings bear the image of God and embody God’s glory, evil often opposes us in the very places where we bring the most glory and goodness to God. Where in your life do you feel you most deeply embody God’s goodness and glory (marriage, business, kids, your giftedness, etc.), and how have you experienced evil coming after you in that very place?
  5. How will you begin living out the truths of this teaching this week?
