Do we give the devil too much credit? In this message, Pastor Joe Donahue explores Mark 9:14-29 and challenges us to discern whether our struggles are spiritual battles or the consequences of our own choices. Even when our faith is imperfect, Jesus meets us where we are and calls us to prayer, because true breakthrough happens when we depend on God.
Hollywood may get it wrong about spiritual warfare, but Scripture makes it clear—authority over the enemy comes from belonging to Jesus, not just saying the right words. In this message, Pastor Joe Donahue examines the story of the Seven Sons of Sceva, who tried to fake spiritual power and ended up exposed and defeated. Learn why obedience, not religious rituals, is the key to standing firm in the face of spiritual battles.
As we wrap up our Warrior series on spiritual warfare, Pastor Joe Donahue unpacks Psalm 23—not as a funeral passage, but as a daily battle plan for those fighting life’s battles. David, a warrior who faced giants, betrayal, and heartbreak, teaches us that the darkest valleys are often the right path, fear does not define us, and surrendering to God brings true rest. No matter what battle you are facing, your Shepherd is with you, leading, defending, and fighting for you.
