Summary

What do you do when the battle isn’t out there—but inside your own heart? We all get fired up about the war out there—but the greatest battle is often the one within. In week four of Worship is War, Pastor Joby unpacks the story behind “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” and the confession that still speaks to every believer: “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it.” Through Romans 7, we’re reminded that even when our hearts drift, God’s grace pursues us. Worship realigns our spirit to the truth that Jesus has already won the war—and invites us to come home to the One who never stops seeking us. 📣 Episode Mentions: Scripture Passage: Romans 7 Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin Hymns Album 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: When Gratitude Feels Like Warfare - Nick's Story Come Thou Fount - Worship is War: Wk 4 What Does It Mean To Be Truly Free? - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S23E4 Worship is War Sermon Series Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
