## Resource

In this challenging and eye-opening message, Pastor Jason Ridley draws from Jesus’ words in Matthew 26:41, reminding us that awareness is a critical part of spiritual victory. While the spirit may be willing, the flesh is weak—and knowing where we are vulnerable helps us guard our faith more intentionally. This sermon encourages believers to stay watchful, prayerful, and spiritually alert. When we recognize the battles we face and understand our weaknesses, we are better equipped to rely on God’s strength and stand firm. Knowing the fight is real is often the first step toward winning it.
