Summary

This week we're kicking off our new series, a four-week journey through some of the principles that Pastor Ben explores in his brand new book, Rest & War! Pastor Ben shows us how Jesus came as a conquering king on a mission to destroy the works of the enemy and set the captives free, and explains what that means for us as we struggle with sin in our lives. We have not been set free FROM the fight. We have been set free FOR the fight. Key Verses // 1 John 3:8-9, Luke 11:21-22, Hebrews 2:14-15, Colossians 2:13-15, 2 Corinthians 2:14, Colossians 1:13-14

0:19.4	Well, if you know me at all, you've heard me say that through a unique set of
0:23.4	circumstances, I have had the honor of spending quality time with Navy SEALS.
0:28.6	And I count that as a great honor because I am continuously inspired by their
0:34.7	clarity of purpose and challenged by their commitment to hone their skills for
0:39.8	their purposes. So I've watched them leap from helicopters. I've watched them
0:43.7	use all manner of weapons. I've watched them use hand-to-hand combat. I
0:47.3	remember one of them teaching me some things about it and at the end of it he
0:50.6	said, you know, that's really what's life's about. He said it's just about
0:53.3	getting a little bit deadlier every day. And I was like, okay, I thought you were
0:57.7	gonna say better, but deadlier works fine too. And wow, and I've watched them
1:03.4	hone their ability to use force and then hone the responsibility of how much to
1:07.9	use and when. And I'm always inspired by that community and the training they

1:15.5	one point, gathering with a group of guys and some friends when they had just
1:19.1	gotten back from a training called Halo School. And they were showing us a
1:23.6	video of it. This evolution, Halo, is an acronym. It stands for high altitude, low
1:28.8	opening. It's a parachute in school. And it's not just for seals. All manner of
1:33.0	the military uses it, but it's a very intense school. You spend maybe half a
1:37.0	day in the classroom and the next day they're shoving you at airplanes. And when
