A Call to Spiritual Warfare from the Book of Ephesians Chapter 6. The War is Real. The Real Enemy. This is a three-week study series on spiritual warfare that can help Christians understand and engage in the spiritual battle against evil, equipping them with knowledge and strategies to stand firm in their faith. The series can explore the real nature of spiritual warfare, the importance of prayer, bowing before battle and the power of God’s armor as described in Ephesians 6. It can also address practical aspects like identifying strongholds and how to establish godly footholds in one’s life. Victory is in Christ! Noon Day Bible Study is held each Wednesday at 12 noon with exception of holidays. (Dial 848-220-3300. Access code 7266492#). Our Study Manuals are available in the vestibule.
Please join us for evening Bible Study through May 21st 2025. Our evening study is “Understanding Spiritual Warfare” by Guna Raman. This is a Right Now Media study. Are there unseen spiritual battles being waged against you? Are you trapped in a cosmic struggle far bigger than yourself? Or have you dismissed it all as mere Christian mumbo-jumbo from fundamentalist fear-mongers? In this eye-opening five-session study on spiritual warfare, Pastor Guna Raman rips away the veil of complacency when it comes to the spirit world. Through biblical teachings and real-life testimonies, he opens our eyes to the
spiritual forces actively opposing our faith. He also provides us with practical strategies to engage boldly with these spiritual enemies. Please join us as Sisters Yvonne Umphrey and Betty Ballentine facilitate this session via Zoom at 7:00 PM.
In case of inclement weather, cancellation information will be available on WTVD 11, WRAL 5/WRAZ 50,
