Throughout this series, we’ve unpacked the many different ways that lies come at you. But how do you get ahead of the lies? How can you be proactive in guarding yourself against the lies that the world, the devil, and the flesh try to put in your path? This week, we look at a letter from Paul and the instructions he gives for us to be able to do this very thing.

You are set apart from the world and for the world! In this message, Jeff Brodie looks at the role of societal lies; they tempt us to normalize the lies we hear in our lives so that we make the mistake of living them. He’ll be looking at how scripture teaches us to spot the lies in our society and how we don’t need to run from the world but run towards it.

We all have that part of us that wants to do what’s good for us and good for others, but so often we don’t. It’s more than temptation. Our priorities get out of order, and our wants become defined as needs. On top of that, we start to grasp for things that make us happy instead of things that give us fulfillment. What is this battle? It’s fertile territory for lies to derail us; scripture calls it “the flesh,” and Paul wants to show us how to win the fight.

You want to thrive, but the constant chase for the promise of fulfillment leaves you looking for more. What if you’re being lied to? Or worse, what if you’re actually living the lies you’ve been told? Would you even know? What you’re facing isn’t just a mental battle but a spiritual one. In this message, Pastor Jeff Brodie will look at the Bible and investigate where lies come from, why we believe them, and how to fight for the fulfillment you’re looking for.
