Kevin Bautista preaches from 1 Kings 22 about truth, deception, and freedom.

The sermon connects spiritual deception to spiritual warfare, gives practical application (recognize your inner Ahab, be courageous like Micaiah, help others bow down), and concludes with a gospel invitation and pastoral next steps.
