without His light. Sign up at the Ministry Center. Leader, Stephanie Schell; Room 102
gods at War: What keeps us from truly following Jesus is that our hearts are pursuing something or
someone else. Behind the sin you’re struggling with, the discouragement you’re dealing with, the lack
of purpose you’re living with is a false god that is winning the war for your heart.
