The Invisible War

"Why is life so hard? Why do we suffer?"

Job asked God those questions when his life started to fall apart and everything was taken away from him.

Those questions resonate with all of us because, let's face it, life can be hard... and it only makes it worse when it feels like there's no rhyme or reason.

The reality is, there's an invisible war going on within us that is after our soul—a war that we can only win with the right armor on.

This eight-part series from Pastor Rick Warren will equip you and your members with God's armor to overcome the invisible war within you.

Hard times are inevitable, but God has provided us with all the wisdom we need to get through them... all we have to do is open his Word!
