We are, we're going to be taking on a topic that, frankly, you actually are taking on every day of your life.

It seems as though of late.

And it's one that, as a church, which the world doesn't understand, friends,

it used to be that within the confines of these walls, we would do a service,

and it would be within the scope of those who are here, right?

That world has changed ever since COVID, where now things are streamed globally in nanoseconds of time.

And so because of that, there are people who listen or watch who do not agree.

In fact, they want to war, they want to fight.

And that's just the world that we're in.

But the cool thing about knowing the God of the Bible is the God of the Bible taught us all about Himself,

all summed up in the life of David, especially when the young boy David confronted Goliath.

And that is the church in a way is like David.

The world is like Goliath. It's loud, it's boisterous, it's mean, and it's going to shout at you.

But David relied on the Lord.

And that's what the church has got to do.

Never, never should the church ever withdraw itself from battle.

Amen.

We're not allowed to do that. When I say battle, I mean spiritual battle.

But we live in an age now in these last days that the spiritual battles are manifesting themselves now in the public square.

And that's why you feel the way that you feel, and that's why you're going through the things that you're going through.

That's why you're watching and hearing things that you thought would never even be discussed or be thought of.

And so we're going to be talking about a topic today, and I want to qualify it.
