THE WAR YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR
We don’t think about battle when we wake up—but Scripture says we’re in one. There’s a real enemy working to derail your faith, distort God’s truth, and destroy the life God has for you. This series will show you how to fight back and win.
SCRIPTURE
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” - John 10:10
QUESTIONS
1. When you think about spiritual warfare in our culture today, what comes to your mind?

harder or easier for you to believe that?

three things do you desire most from the people around you? Why?
4. Read Mark 1:9–11. What does God say to Jesus? Why is it significant that God spoke these words to Jesus before his minsitry began?
