Ruling in the Kingdom: Authority, Submission, and Spiritual Warfare

Mar 9, 2026    Pastor Paul Craig

Pastor Paul unpacks the believer's God-given authority over the devil's kingdom — revealing that Satan can only rule Christians illegally, and only when they're unaware of their position in Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 2 and 1 Peter 5, the sermon explores the divine structure of the church — how elders, younger members, and the whole Body are called to willing submission as an act of humility, not compulsion. Believers are challenged to cast their cares on God, resist the enemy with steadfast faith, and walk in the spiritual rank they've been given through the blood of Jesus.
