What if the biggest threat to the church isn’t what’s happening around us, but what’s happening inside us?In this message, Jim Burgen continues our spiritual warfare series by unpacking the unseen spiritual battle behind what we see happening in our world. But the challenge eventually turns back on us: before we point at everything wrong with the world, followers of Jesus have to ask whether we’re actually living, praying, and loving differently.If you’re frustrated by politics, culture, or the direction of the world around you, watch this message before deciding who the enemy is. Jesus calls His followers to something much harder than winning an argument: loving people, even our enemies, the way He loved us.In this message you’ll discover:— What the Bible means by children of God, the Son of God, and sons of God— How the Bible describes the spiritual forces working against God and His people— Why judgment begins with the household of God before we point at the world— What repentance, prayer, and loving our enemies look like for followers of Jesus today— Why our allegiance to Jesus has to come before our politics, opinions, and agendasKey Scriptures: John 1:9–14, Psalm 82, 1 Peter 4:12–17, 2 Chronicles 7:14, John 13:34–35, Matthew 5:43–47Support Our Ministry: https://my.flatironschurch.com/give-to-online-campusStay ConnectedWebsite: https://flatironschurch.comFacebook: https://Facebook.com/flatironsInstagram: https://Instagram.com/flatironschurchJim BurgenYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Jim.BurgenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.burgenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimburgenBring the awesome life of Christ to people in a lost and broken world.

Some things you only have to do once to wreck your marriage. This message names them out loud, and hands you the guardrails so you never do that.In a culture that keeps redrawing the lines on sex, marriage, and conflict, this message goes back to what God actually said, that sexual intimacy belongs inside covenant, that temptation is universal but never an excuse, and that the words you use in a fight can wound deeper than you realize. The question underneath all of it: what do you need to stop doing today to protect the marriage and the people God gave you?Whether your marriage feels strong right now, feels like it's hanging by a thread, or you're single and want to get this right before you ever say "I do", this one is for you.In this message you'll discover:— Why sexual intimacy belongs inside covenant marriage, and why that boundary protects you rather than restricts you— How to run from temptation instead of negotiating with it, and why God always provides a way of escape— Why Jesus goes after the heart and not just the act, and what that means for lust and pornography— The guardrails that keep you out of the room where affairs actually start, and the "never do that" rules that keep a conflict from becoming a wound, including the forgiveness that cancels a debt they could never payKey Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 6:18, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Hebrews 13:4, Matthew 5:27-28, 1 Corinthians 13Support Our Ministry: https://my.flatironschurch.com/give-to-online-campusStay ConnectedWebsite: https://flatironschurch.comFacebook: https://Facebook.com/flatironsInstagram: https://Instagram.com/flatironschurchJim BurgenYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Jim.BurgenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.burgenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimburgenBring the awesome life of Christ to people in a lost and broken world.
