SERIES: Discerning the Spirits
Title: This Is Not My Beautiful House. (Bonus points if you can tell why....)

SYNOPSIS: We are all products of the forces of the world, products of what scripture calls powers and principalities. So we struggle against powers and principalities in a spiritual warfare different than Christian culture presents us. Jesus is our freedom from these things, and this week, we will begin to consider how exactly Jesus frees us from the powers and principalities.
