You Can't Fight Alone

Transcripts for Dr. Wiersbe's sermons are forthcoming. Below is an outline of his message.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fightinga battle” (Dr. John Watson).

We can’t always see the battlegoing on inside other people’s lives.

Christians are together in the battle against Satan.

Paul tells us how we can help each other win the battle.

Four ways we can help others have victory:

-      We help each other by praying for one another (Ephesians 6:18-20).

• It’s a sign of strength when you know you need the prayers of other people.
• Be specific in your prayers for other people.
• Pray for believers to have victory in their warfare and an opportunity to witness.
• We can help believers put on the armor of God by praying for them.

-      We help each other by communicating with one another (Ephesians 6:21-22).

• When there is a war going on, the first thing the enemy does is wipe out communication.
• The better we get to know each other, the fewer unspoken requests there will be.
• Lack of communication is a sign something is wrong.

-      We help each other by serving one another (Ephesians 6:21).

• Tychicus was willing to give up his own liberty to serve Paul and thus serve the Lord.
• Behind the great men and women who are known in Christian history, there are men unknown people.
• We are called to minister to one another however God calls us, even if that means just being present.

-      We help each other by encouraging one another (Ephesians 6:22).

• Finding what is good and using that to encourage others will take care of what is bad.
• Don’t add to other people’s problems, bring peace into other’s lives.
• Encourage one another with peace, love, faith, and grace.

Are we helping each other win the battle?

Jesus established the fellowshipof believers because we need each other.

When we help one another, they get the strength to fight the battle, and so do we.

Fight together for the gloryof God.
