In the final week of our Name Your Shark series, Pastor Curt Taylor explores the dangerous lies we often believe in the quiet corners of our hearts—lies about our worth, identity, and control. Looking at Jesus' temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11), we see how the enemy uses fear to tempt us into shortcuts that pull us away from God's plan. Like Jesus, we can overcome by naming the lie, replacing it with God's Word, and believing His truth is real. The cross proves every one of Satan's lies wrong, reminding us that we are not what we have, what others think, or what we control. We are who God says we are, and His truth sets us free.

Today begins a journey into understanding the real enemies that followers of Jesus face and how to stand firm in the victory Christ has already won. Many of us are quick to identify enemies in our lives—people, circumstances, or even cultural forces—but Scripture reveals that our true adversaries are often unseen and spiritual in nature. Drawing from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, we see that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. Paul identifies three primary enemies: the world, the devil, and our own sinful nature. Each of these will be explored in depth in the coming weeks, but today the focus is on the devil—our spiritual adversary.The devil is not a myth or a mere symbol of evil; he is a real, created being, a rebellious angel who opposes God and seeks to destroy the good work of God in our lives. He is not God's equal, nor is the outcome of this cosmic battle in question—Jesus has already won the victory through the cross. Yet, the devil is active, prowling like a roaring lion, seeking to devour, to sow chaos where there is order, division where there is unity, and despair where there is joy. His primary strategy is deception—he is the father of lies, and his greatest weapon is to get us to believe things that are not true about God, ourselves, and our circumstances.The devil's mission is to destroy, to steal, and to kill. He cannot dethrone God, so he targets God's children, seeking to undermine our faith, our relationships, and our sense of purpose. His accusations and slander are meant to paralyze us with fear, shame, and doubt. Yet, we are not defenseless. Scripture calls us to be alert, to resist the devil, and to stand firm in the truth. Jesus himself modeled this resistance in the wilderness, countering every temptation with the Word of God. The truth is our weapon, and abiding in God's Word is the path to freedom.We are called to live from a place of victory, not defeat. The enemy has been disarmed and shamed by Christ's triumph on the cross. Communion is a reminder that we sit at the table with Jesus, even in the presence of our enemies, declaring that the enemy is defeated and that we belong to the victorious King. Let us stop giving ground to the enemy, reject his lies, and draw near to God, who promises to draw near to us.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:10] - Knowing Your Enemy: Fun Examples[03:19] - The Reality of Spiritual Attack[05:45] - Paul's Letter to the Ephesians: Context[08:09] - Our Struggle Is Not Against Flesh and Blood[11:12] - The Three Enemies: World, Devil, Flesh[14:05] - What Does It Mean to Stand Firm?[16:24] - The Reality of Spiritual War[19:12] - The Devil: A Real Adversary[22:18] - The Origin and Nature of Satan[24:08] - Pride and the Fall of Lucifer[27:44] - Living in Enemy Territory[30:07] - The Devil's Mission and Goals[31:56] - Jesus Exposes the Devil's Character[33:08] - The Devil as Liar and Murderer[34:32] - The Enemy's Strategy: Devour and Divide[36:21] - How the Enemy Attacks: Lies and Accusations[39:33] - Slander and False Accusations[41:26] - The Subtlety of the Enemy's Lies[43:22] - Lies We Believe and Their Consequences[50:24] - How to Resist the Devil[51:32] - Drawing Near to God[54:00] - Jesus in the Wilderness: Our Example[58:30] - The Enemy's Defeat at the Cross[60:10] - Communion: Declaring Christ's Victory[62:00] - Stop Inviting the Enemy to Your Table[63:00] - Closing Prayer and Benediction

What comes to mind when you think about certain people in your life? Your spouse, ex-spouse, co-workers, anyone that you would consider not "for us, with us, or like us?" What comes to mind when we think about others reveals how much of Christ is in us." This one cuts so get ready!

When you look at yourself in the mirror, what thoughts come to mind? What are those thoughts based on? We are often our harshest critics, and the lie we believe the most about ourselves is "I'm NOT good enough." This lie is mass-produced by a couple of more subtle lies. Find out how to take back the power this has over you.

We're kicking off our brand-new series, The Lies of the Enemy, and today we're calling out one of the most common and destructive lies: “I'm not enough.” This episode is for you if you've ever felt like: You're not a good enough parent You're falling behind compared to others You're spiritually dry or disconnected You've made too many mistakes to be used by God Let's get real — that lie doesn't come from God. In this episode, Jeanith shares biblical truth, personal testimony, and 3 practical steps to break free from the pressure to be "enough" on your own. God never asked you to have it all together. He just asks you to trust that He is enough in you. Scriptures we cover:

Have you ever been disappointed in God? Feeling like you have to act right to earn His love? Do your prayers feel unanswered, like He's holding out on you? Do you find it hard to trust God? If you said yes, you are believing the lie "that God is not good. " The truth is God is always good! Even when things don't feel good!

Ministry is easier than you think.The world tells us to buy a URL, entice followers, and go viral on TikTok - But Jesus shows us how to be effective in our everyday lives.Honestly, you are probably already "doing ministry" - it's a way of life!God can use you just as you are with what you have to make an impact in someone's life.That precious memory triggers another: your honest faith—and what a rich faith it is, handed down from your grandmother Lois to your mother Eunice, and now to you! And the special gift of ministry you received when I laid hands on you and prayed—keep that ablaze! God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving and sensible. 2 Timothy 1:5-7

The devil is a liar!! Since the beginning of creation, our enemy has been deceiving and accusing us. But we get to choose who we believe.  What we CHOOSE to believe directs our gaze, perception, desire, behavior, and influence. We are always to choose God's word over anything else because everything contradictory to God's word is a lie.

Here's the part we're often afraid to say out loud: Sometimes the hardest part of pain isn't the loss, it's the way it shakes your view of God. You trusted Him. You prayed. You believed. And still, the relationship ended. The diagnosis came. The door closed. And deep down, a quiet question started forming: “God… where were You?” If you've ever felt that tension between faith and disappointment, you're not alone. In fact, naming that wrestle may be the first step toward healing. Today, we're going to gently uncover some of the hidden beliefs pain can plant about God—and invite His truth into those places.

Conflict in the church isn't a surprise to Jesus—it's something He directly addressed. In this sermon, we explore what Jesus teaches in Matthew 18 about how to handle conflict in a way that honors God and protects community. From broken relationships to gossip to the temptation to just “go it alone,” this message unpacks the biblical steps to pursue unity, reconciliation, and healing in the Body of Christ. We're not called to be perfect—but we are called to peace. And Jesus promises to be present in the process.

What do you do with the Bible verses that challenge you—frustrate you—even make you angry? This message explores the struggle with verses like James 1:2 that call us to rejoice in trials. If God is good and powerful, why do Christians still suffer? Is there purpose in our pain? Through biblical truth and honest reflection, you'll discover how God uses suffering not to harm us, but to form us—and how even our worst moments are never wasted in the hands of our Savior.

In part one of this honest and powerful conversation, we sit down with Jessica Rivers—a pastor's wife and mom—who opens up about her personal struggle with feeling insignificant and not enough. She shares how the enemy often speaks lies into her mind and how God continues to gently remind her of her true worth and purpose. This episode is a reminder that you're not alone in the battle—and that your significance is rooted in something unshakable. What are the lies the enemy tells you—and how can truth silence them?

Were you told that everyone is a child of God? What if that's not what the Bible actually teaches? In this powerful message, we unpack the truth of spiritual adoption—the difference between being made by God and being adopted into His family.

Discernment For Us All - In this episode Paul reads the 5th chapter from Lies We Believe About GodIntro Music by: Luke Dimond

In a world where "all paths lead to God" sounds loving and tolerant, is it actually true? Or is it one of the most dangerous lies we believe? In this message, Pastor Joe Wickman confronts the popular idea of religious pluralism and universalism—the belief that all beliefs are equally valid and all roads lead to heaven. Through the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 7 and His exclusive claims in the Gospel of John, we uncover the truth: Jesus didn't just claim to know the way—He claimed to BE the way. Whether you're skeptical, seeking, or a follower of Jesus, this message invites you to make a clear decision about who Jesus is—and what that means for your life and future

Today's episode gets personal—and maybe a little uncomfortable. I'm talking about the lies we believe about ourselves—and the truth that sets us free. These aren't just surface-level insecurities. They're the quiet, unspoken beliefs that sneak into your mind when no one's looking. Beliefs like “I'm too much,” “I'm not enough,” or “I'll never get it right.” They don't start as facts, but over time, they feel true—because they've been repeated in pain, shame, or silence. The way you see yourself isn't just shaping your confidence—it's shaping your choices, your relationships, and your faith. So today, let's peel back the layers and start getting honest about the lies—and the freedom on the other side.

In this series we're trying to call out and directly engage some of those in-the-back-of-your-mind-thoughts that many people struggle with like "I don't matter" or "I'm too broken" or "I have to earn God's love."

What if everything you've been chasing for happiness is actually leaving you empty? Our world tells us that happiness comes from success, relationships, money, or instant gratification. But no matter how much we achieve, buy, or experience, it never seems to be enough. In this message, we unpack the Lies We Believe about what makes us happy and the truth that actually leads to fulfillment. The Bible warns us about three major lies—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—all of which convince us that happiness is found in temporary things. But Jesus offers something greater. In John 6:35, He says, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” True happiness isn't found in stuff, status, or shortcuts—it's found in surrendering to the only One who can truly satisfy. Have you been chasing temporary happiness instead of lasting joy? Where are you believing the world's lies instead of trusting God's truth? This week, read Psalm 73 every day and ask God to reveal where you've been settling for less than His best. Let's stop searching for happiness in the wrong places and start finding fulfillment in Him.
