“'We saw the giants, the sons of Anak... and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.'”
A Bible-study sermon based on Numbers 13 that frames spiritual warfare as primarily a battle over self-perception. The speaker contrasts fear-filtered interpretations of facts with a faith-filtered posture (exemplified by Caleb and Joshua), calls the church to embrace an identity rooted in God's promises, and issues practical calls to prayer, evangelism, stewardship, and readiness to possess the promised land (including a local property initiative).
“The other part is in Numbers chapter 13 verse 33.”
A Live Free podcast episode that opens with church announcements and testimonies, then walks through two main teaching tracks: (1) Matthew 21—Jesus’ triumphal entry, the Good Samaritan connection, and how Christians should engage politics (avoid deifying or denying politics; practical watchouts and discipleship as a 24/7 vocation), and (2) an explanation of the Nephilim (Genesis 6): major interpretive options, problems with extra‑biblical sources like the Book of Enoch, and a pastoral caution against obsessive speculation.
“That same flesh made them believe they couldn't walk into the promised land, that they're like grasshoppers.”
A New Year Sunday message calling the congregation to deny self, take up their cross daily, and enter a 21-day corporate season of prayer and fasting beginning Wednesday. The preacher taught from Luke 9:23 about the flesh vs. spirit, explained types and purposes of fasting, shared testimonies of breakthrough, and issued invitations for surrender, prayer, and participation in church life.
