Spiritual Warfare: Why Jesus Told His Disciples to Carry Swords (Luke 22:37-38)

Sunday's sermon turned into a blog post with audio and video:

https://www.scottlapierre.org/spiritual-warfare/

Spiritual warfare is not just a concept—it’s a daily reality for every believer. Unpack why Jesus instructed His disciples to carry swords, revealing deep biblical truths about preparing for spiritual warfare in a hostile world. Through Luke 22:37-38, we learn that spiritual warfare requires discernment, courage, and readiness—not physical weapons, but the armor of God. Spiritual warfare is not about attacking people but standing firm against the enemy’s schemes with the right weapons, such as prayer, God’s Word, and fellowship.

Jesus on Trial: Human Depravity and the Innocent Son of God (Luke 22:63–71)

Few passages expose the darkness of the human heart—and the beauty of Christ’s innocence—like Jesus’ illegal trial before the religious leaders.
He was mocked, blindfolded, beaten, and condemned… all while remaining the sinless Son of God who willingly suffered for our salvation.
This message walks verse-by-verse through Luke 22:63–71 to show:
• the wickedness revealed in human depravity
• the innocence and obedience of Christ
• why Jesus had to suffer this way
• what this means for your walk with God today

Shimei’s False Repentance: How Bitterness Destroys a Heart (2 Samuel 16–19)

Shimei completely misjudged David—and let bitterness poison his heart for decades.

When David was at one of the lowest points of his life, Shimei hurled rocks, curses, and false accusations at him.
But when the tables turned, and David was restored, Shimei said, “I have sinned,” not out of repentance, but out of fear.

This message is a needed warning for all of us:
• Bitterness can distort our judgment
• Pain can tempt us to mistreat people
• Fear can produce confessions that lack true repentance

God calls us to something better: genuine repentance rooted in truth, not fear.
