What’s Really Going On? There’s more going on than we can see—and it’s already shaping who we’re becoming.
In Part 1 of our new series, we’re pulling back the curtain on the invisible world most people ignore. From ancient war to everyday choices, Scripture shows us we’re living in the tension of two unseen kingdoms—Heaven and Hell—and our lives are being shaped by whichever one we allow to govern us.
⚔️ This isn’t a myth. It’s not a metaphor. It’s a war of governance—and you’re already in it.
📚 Key Scriptures:
Revelation 12:7–9 (The original rebellion in heaven)
Genesis 3:1–7 (How the rebellion reached us)
Ephesians 6:12 (The battle behind everything)
James 3:13–18 & Romans 12:9–10 (Signs of Heaven)
Romans 1:28–31 (Signs of Hell)
🎯 This Week’s Big Idea: We don’t just live in a world—we live in a story. One with forces from two realms pressing in on every decision we make.
🌍 In This Sermon, You’ll Learn:
✔️ Why eternity isn’t something that starts when we die—it’s already happening
✔️ How invisible forces are shaping your visible life
✔️ What Scripture says about the ancient war still waging today
✔️ How to recognize whether Heaven or Hell is influencing your daily choices
💥 “This isn’t about if you’re being ruled—it’s about who rules you.”
Discussion Questions
What do you usually think about when you think about eternity? How has your perspective on “forever” been shaped by culture, family, or past church experiences?
Which part of today’s message challenged your current view of reality the most? Was it the idea of a present spiritual battle? That eternity is already underway? That you’re not spiritually neutral?
In what ways do you see “heaven down” or “hell up” showing up in your daily decisions or relationships? Can you think of a recent moment when you realized which force was shaping you?
How does thinking about your life as part of a spiritual war change the way you make choices or set priorities?
If the real question is “Who’s governing my life?”, what would it look like to let God rule more fully this week? Are there areas where you’re resisting His authority or leaning into a different kingdom?
