Setting Captives Free - Ernest Rockstad

The sermon centers on the essential foundation of Christian service: living in union with Christ and operating from the victory He has already won over Satan. It emphasizes three key principles—relying on the finished work of Christ, the believer's union with Him, and the present indwelling of the Holy Spirit—as the unshakable basis for spiritual warfare and ministry. From this foundation, believers are called to wield powerful spiritual weapons: the Word of God, prayer, praise, and the authority granted through Christ's name. The message also highlights the necessity of cultivating spiritual graces such as a listening ear and an understanding heart, which enable genuine compassion and effective ministry, especially in confronting demonic oppression. Ultimately, the sermon calls every believer to extend Christ's ministry by embodying His life, authority, and love in practical, courageous, and grace-filled service.
