Raise the Banner | The Verse That Changed My Life

Raise the Banner | The Verse That Changed My Life

Passage: Exodus 17:9-15

Speaker: Seth Bundy

Series: The Verse That Changed My Life

Category: Sunday Sermons

Keywords: prayer, faith, christian growth, spiritual battles, trusting god, dependence on god, exodus 17, jehovah nissi, victory in christ, overcoming pride

What does it mean to say, "The Lord is my Banner"? This sermon from Exodus 17:8-15 explores the story of Israel's battle with the Amalekites and the declaration that God alone is the source of victory. Through Moses' example, we're reminded that spiritual battles cannot be won by human strength alone but through complete dependence on God. This message challenges us to identify the pride that keeps us self-reliant, embrace the support of the body of Christ, and trust the Lord to fight the battles we cannot win on our own.
