PLEASE CHECK YOUR NOTIFICATIONS AND OR YOUR PLANNING CENTER PROFILES FOR NEW MEMBER REQUESTS.  

NOTE:

Two opportunities to pray: 

Leaders only: Please be available at the end of services to pray for those who come forward. If you are not actively serving during the service you are attending, make it a priority to head to the front when the invitation is given. Your presence matters!

North Attleboro Leaders and members: If you are available, or any member of your group who currently serves is available, there is an opportunity to meet for prayer in the conference room off of the break room area during the second and third services.  Please see Doug and Joanie White or Felix Shyllon if you would like to be a part of that ministry.

Please note: if you have a member who is not currently serving and would like to be part of the prayer during the service team, please have them take the appropriate steps to become a serve team member.

NORTH ATTLEBORO

Prayer at the Altar – AFTER SERVICES

If possible, please make an effort to be at the altar after this service to pray for others.

Your presence makes a difference—thank you for serving!

Below is a link to the Miracle after Miracle fasting devotional:

MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE – 21 DAYS OF FASTING 

____________________________

**Please read all scripture in the ESV, unless otherwise noted.**

KEY VERSE: Acts 16

Ice Breaker Question:
What is the go-to song that instantly lifts your mood or gives you energy?
Opening Prayer:
Father God, we come before You recognizing that we face real obstacles and real spiritual battles. Open our hearts and minds tonight to understand Your truth, to worship You with faith, and to learn how praise is a powerful weapon You have given us. Teach us to trust You fully in every battle we face. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Praise is a weapon.  Miracles happen when praises rise, where complaints could live.

In the face of our obstacles:
1. We UNDERSTAND the spiritual BATTLE LINES.
Acts 16:16–17 ESV
A divination is a demonic spirit.
1 John 5:19 ESV; Colossians 1:13 ESV; Luke 10:18–19 ESV

Satan inhabited the earth before us.  He was an archangel who fell from heaven. Before we got here, he was causing confusion.

The DEVIL’s PLAN:
A. DECEPTION – he’s the father of LIES.
John 8:44 ESV
B. DISCOURAGEMENT – He accuses believers constantly.
Revelation 12:10 ESV
C. DESTRUCTION – his ultimate GOAL.
John 10:10 ESV
Acts 16:18-24ESV
Q. How does understanding the enemy’s plan of deception, discouragement, and destruction change the way you view spiritual opposition in your life?
Leader Prompt:
If the group gets quiet, you might ask: “Have you ever mistaken a spiritual battle for just a bad day or difficult circumstance?”
Practical Application:
This week, identify one situation where you may be facing spiritual opposition and intentionally pray with awareness of the spiritual battle lines rather than reacting only in the natural.
In the face of our obstacles:
2. We UTILIZE our SPIRITUAL WEAPONS.
Acts 16:25-26 ESV
There’s POWER in PRAISE.

A. Praise amplifies truth in the face of deception.

Hebrews 4:12 ESV
B. Praise magnifies the LORD over our TROUBLES.
Psalm 34:1–4 ESV
C. Praise SCATTERS the ENEMY of the Christian.
Psalm 50:14–15 ESV
Q. Which aspect of praise—amplifying, magnifying the Lord over troubles, or scattering the enemy—stands out most to you and why?
Leader Prompt:
You might follow up by asking: “What makes it difficult to choose praise in the middle of trouble rather than after it’s resolved?”
Practical Application:
Choose one intentional moment this week to praise God in the middle of a difficulty rather than waiting for the situation to change.
In the face of our obstacles:
3. We take GROUND from the ENEMY in the SPIRITUAL realm.
Acts 16:27-28-36 ESV

Q. How does this passage show that worship can lead to spiritual breakthroughs that affect both our lives and the lives of others?

Practical Application:
Pray this week with the expectation that your worship can impact not only your circumstances but the lives of others around you.
PRAISE turns your PROBLEM into a PULPIT!

KEY TAKAWAYS:

What are 3 main takeaways you received from this message?

Closing Prayer:

Father, thank You for reminding us that worship is not just a response to victory but a weapon in the battle. Help us understand the spiritual battle lines, use praise as You intended, and take ground from the enemy through faithful worship. Strengthen us to worship You in every season. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
