Victory Over the World System: Living as Overcomers in Christ

Feb 8, 2026    Steve Thomas

This sermon addresses how believers can live victoriously despite the corruption, suffering, and distractions of the world system. The pastor emphasizes that while the world offers both affliction (disease, pain, sin) and attraction (wealth, power, entertainment), believers are called to live with their citizenship in heaven, focusing on eternal things rather than temporal distractions. Through faith in Christ's finished work on the cross, believers have already been given victory over trials, temptations, sin's power, death, judgment, and Satan himself. The key is to direct faith toward God's promises and recognize that we are already seated with Christ in heavenly places, even while facing earthly struggles. The sermon calls believers to live as victors in the midst of conflict, carrying the confidence that God has already secured their triumph through Jesus Christ.
