  How Christians Stand Firm in Spiritual Battles 15.08.2026 4min

  Christians are called to stand firm in the midst of spiritual battle, but what does that look like in everyday life? In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins considers Ephesians 6:13 and James 4:7 to explain how believers stand firm by submitting to God, resisting the enemy, remaining grounded in biblical truth, and pursuing consistency in their walk with Christ. Standing firm is not about dramatic spiritual experiences or relying on our own strength. It is a daily posture of choosing truth over lies, trust over fear, and faithfulness over compromise. God has not left His people without direction for spiritual battle. Christians resist the enemy by remaining under God's authority and steadfast in the truth of His Word.

  No Other "gods"! (BCQ 50) 14.08.2026 48min

  The First Commandment is no minor rule—it is the foundation of true religion and the dividing line between the living God and every counterfeit. This study of the Baptist Catechism Question 50 shows that every person already knows God exists and is without excuse for refusing Him. Scripture demands exclusive worship, yet idolatry has marked the human race—and even God's people—from the beginning. God judges this sin severely, and the commandment reaches our own hearts: What do we fear, love, trust, and serve most? Listen and be called back to the exclusive claim of the one true God.

Drawing primarily from Joshua 11, it illustrates how trusting divine assurance leads to victory despite overwhelming odds. The message highlights that fixing one's mind on circumstances breeds anxiety, whereas focusing on biblical truths brings peace and triumph. Supporting scriptures from Romans, Corinthians, and John reinforce the theme that faith in Christ ensures believers are more than conquerors. Ultimately, the text encourages obedience and trust in God as the pathway to overcoming adversity.

It emphasizes that spiritual warfare requires believers to choose faith over fear when facing adversity, trusting in God's sovereignty rather than human opinion. The preacher highlights how enduring suffering with worship can lead to breakthroughs and the salvation of others, as seen in the conversion of the Philippian jailer. A significant portion addresses the discipline of fasting as a critical weapon against spiritual strongholds, urging listeners to prioritize seeking God above comfort. Ultimately, the message calls for a deepened commitment to prayer and repentance as essential components of a victorious Christian life.

  How Christ Delivers Us from Deception, Fear, and Bondage 13.08.2026 5min

  Jesus Christ delivers sinners from deception, fear, and bondage through the saving power of the gospel. Doreen Virtue explains why the message that "Jesus loves you" or "Jesus died for your sins" must be understood within the Bible's teaching about sin, judgment, repentance, and reconciliation with God. Humanity's relationship with its Creator was broken through sin, and no human effort can restore it. Jesus lived a completely sinless life, bore the wrath sinners deserve on the cross, physically rose from the dead, and ascended to the right hand of the Father. Everyone who recognizes their sin, repents, and trusts in Christ is forgiven, reconciled to God, and indwelt by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit then sanctifies believers and produces His fruit in their lives. Through the gospel, Christ rescues His people from the deception of self-sufficiency and the bondage of attempting to live without God. This episode also encourages those unfamiliar with Scripture to begin reading the Gospel of John slowly and prayerfully.

  Are Monitoring Spirits Biblical? 13.08.2026 1h 3min

  Are monitoring spirits taught in Scripture? In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines popular deliverance teachings concerning monitoring spirits and compares those claims with the Word of God. She considers teachings from Ryan LeStrange and Tiffany Buckner, including claims that monitoring spirits work through people, jealousy, procrastination, relationships, and other circumstances. Dawn explains why the biblical reality of Satan and spiritual warfare does not establish the modern doctrine of monitoring spirits. She also warns that such teaching can create fear, suspicion, and an unhealthy focus on demonic activity. Rather than demonizing people or interpreting ordinary struggles as evidence of demonic spirits, Christians are called to submit to God, resist the devil, trust God's sovereignty, and rest in the sufficiency of Scripture. Believers in Christ have been delivered from the domain of darkness, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and equipped by God to stand firm in biblical spiritual warfare.

  Who Is Satan? Understanding the Enemy and His Schemes 12.08.2026 4min

  Satan is real, but he is not equal with God. He is neither all-powerful nor sovereign. Scripture presents him as a created and limited adversary who opposes God, attacks the truth, and works primarily through deception. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins considers what the Bible teaches about Satan and his schemes. Drawing from John 8:44 and 2 Corinthians 11:14, Dave explains Satan's character as a liar, his use of deception, and why Scripture warns that he can disguise himself as an angel of light. Christians should neither ignore Satan nor exaggerate his power. Instead, believers are called to remain alert, exercise biblical discernment, and stay firmly grounded in the truth of God's Word. Satan is real, but he is limited. God alone is sovereign, and Christians can face spiritual warfare with clarity rather than fear because Christ and His grace are sufficient.

  Steadfast Faithfulness 12.08.2026 15min

  Salvation, faithfulness, power, and love. This is the believer's security in all circumstances of life, even in difficult times and in times of persecution. Believers overcome fear with steadfast faith by God's power and love. Paul's appeal to Timothy stands as a timeless charge to every believer entrusted with a God-given faith and calling: because a sincere and inherited faith already dwells within you, and because the gift God placed in you through your calling has not gone out but only needs to be fanned into flame, you must actively stir it up, refusing the spirit of timidity that is not from God and instead walking in the power, love, and sound-minded discipline the Holy Spirit has already supplied.

  Overcoming Negative Voices 12.08.2026 28min

  When life gets loud with lies, accusations, and well‑intentioned but misguided voices, Scripture becomes the steady place our hearts can breathe again. God's Word cuts through the noise—replacing fear with truth, doubt with clarity, and discouragement with the courage Joshua, Caleb, Nehemiah, and David all clung to. As we meditate on what God says, we learn to recognize the Shepherd's voice and silence every other one that tries to pull us off course.

  1 Samuel Part 2 12.08.2026 47min

  The sermon examines Israel's demand for a human king in 1 Samuel 8 as a rejection of God's direct reign, highlighting their desire to conform to surrounding nations rather than remain distinct. It traces the tragic arc of Saul's reign, illustrating how fear, impatience, and partial obedience led to his ultimate rejection by God. The narrative serves as a warning against seeking visible leadership over trust in divine guidance and demonstrates that human authority must always submit to God's sovereignty. Despite the failures of Israel's first king, the text points forward to Jesus Christ as the true Messiah who reigns righteously without flaw. Ultimately, the passage invites believers to look beyond earthly leaders and find their hope in the eternal King who fulfills all promises.

Ultimately, it calls for faithful perseverance and trust in Jesus as the ultimate refuge from spiritual warfare.

  Standing Firm in Spiritual Warfare 11.08.2026 9min

  Every Christian man is engaged in a real spiritual battle. Scripture neither encourages an unhealthy obsession with demons nor permits believers to ignore spiritual opposition. Instead, the Lord commands His people to be strong in Him and to stand firm with the armor He provides. In this episode of Warriors of Grace, Dave Jenkins explains Ephesians 6:10–18 and shows how Christian men can face sin, temptation, fear, discouragement, pride, anger, passivity, and spiritual opposition with biblical courage. Victory does not come through human ingenuity, willpower, or self-confidence. Christian men fight from the finished victory of Jesus Christ. Through truth, righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, Scripture, prayer, and fellowship in the local church, God supplies everything His people need to remain faithful. Stand firm in Christ, remain vigilant, and fight with the armor God provides. For more from Warriors of Grace, please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/warriors-of-grace-podcast/

  Spiritual Warfare Is Real: How Christians Stand Firm in the Truth 11.08.2026 4min

  Spiritual warfare is real, but Christians are not called to live in fear or become consumed with speculation about the demonic. Scripture calls believers to be sober-minded, watchful, and firmly grounded in the truth of God's Word. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins examines what Scripture teaches about spiritual warfare. He explains why the Christian battle is not against flesh and blood, how the enemy works through deception and distortion of truth, and why biblical discernment is essential. Christians should neither ignore spiritual warfare nor see demonic activity behind everything. Instead, believers must recognize the reality of the spiritual battle while standing firm in Christ and trusting the sufficiency of Scripture. God has not left His people unprepared. He has given us His Word, and His Word is truth. For more from Contending for the Word Q&A, please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-qa/

  Set the Lord Always Before Me (Remastered) 11.08.2026 40min

  What is the secret to a life of spiritual longevity? How did saints of old overcome the daily battle of temptation and trouble? In this sermon on Psalm 16:8 titled "… Set the Lord Always Before Me," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones expounds on this psalm of David to share this secret. It is the daily decision to actively set the Lord always before oneself. This daily spiritual discipline enables the Christian to face the uncertainty of the future without fear as one considers who the Lord is and who they are to Him. Dr. Lloyd-Jones encourages with a gracious reminder that there are two things the Christian can do to "set the Lord before us." First, they must make an active decision to consciously remind themselves of God. It is an act of determination to think on the Lord and what He has done; otherwise their lives will be swept into busyness and God becomes secondary in thoughts and affections. Secondly, after one sets their hearts steadfastly on seeking the presence of God, they turn to the means of communion with God. Christians seek Him through prayer and reading Scripture. They are the means of communing with God on days when one feels like seeking Him as well as the days their hearts feel cold and distant from Him. Find encouragement from Dr. Lloyd-Jones's preaching on David's resolute desire to battle temptation and find comfort in setting the Lord always before him.

  Proverbs Overview: What Is Wisdom and How Do We Live Wisely? 11.08.2026 4min

  What is biblical wisdom, and how should it shape the Christian life? In this concluding episode through Proverbs, Dave Jenkins considers the major themes we have encountered throughout the book. Wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord and means living rightly before God according to His Word. Proverbs repeatedly presents two paths: wisdom leading toward life and folly leading toward destruction. It teaches that wisdom touches our words, relationships, work, decisions, desires, and character. It also directs us inward to the heart while reminding us that the sovereign Lord directs our steps. Living wisely means fearing the Lord, remaining in His Word, guarding our hearts, watching our words, walking humbly, receiving correction, and choosing wisdom day after day. Yet Proverbs ultimately points beyond ourselves to Jesus Christ. We have not lived wisely or obeyed God perfectly, but Christ has. Jesus is not merely an example of wisdom. He is the wisdom of God. Through His death and resurrection, sinners are forgiven, transformed, and enabled to walk according to God's ways. Proverbs 9:10: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight."
