Jeremy Utley - A Godly Attitude Towards Enemies
Summary
The sermon uses Psalm 54 and accounts of David's life to illustrate a godly response to enemies. While David praises God for deliverance, the speaker challenges the tendency to wish punishment on enemies, contrasting it with the New Covenant call to forgive, as exemplified by Jesus. Ultimately, the message shifts focus to God's desire for the wicked to repent and live rather than to die.

Jeremy Utley - Renewing Our Minds for Constant Warfare

The speaker urges listeners to adopt a proactive, aggressive stance against the flesh, drawing parallels from Numbers 25 where God commanded Moses to be hostile to the Midianites. He emphasizes that the mindset on the flesh is hostile toward God, contrasting it with the Spirit's mindset of life and peace. The ultimate goal in life, even when facing trials, is not mere deliverance, but achieving Christ-likeness, recognizing that the flesh, not external circumstances, is the greatest enemy.
