![Fighting the New Fight: How Radical Obedience Conquers the Enemy
What does it truly mean to fight the good fight of faith? In this powerful Pentecost Sunday message, Jonnathan Zin Truong breaks down 1 Timothy 6:12 and Matthew 11:12 to reveal a profound truth: the ultimate fighting stance for a believer is not retaliation, rage, or physical strength—it is radical obedience to Christ.
Sharing raw, deeply personal testimonies from a violent childhood to finding supernatural grace, Jonnathan illustrates how the enemy uses our fleshly desires to build strongholds, and how the Holy Spirit completely disarms darkness through love, truth, and forgiveness.
If you are tired of fighting old battles, repenting for sins already covered by the blood, or struggling to find peace in the midst of lifes warfare, this sermon will challenge you to put on the full armor of God, crush the flesh, and step into a new dimension of kingdom authority and fearlessness.

![Love & Honor ❤️
Love & Honor ❤️ (The Foundation of a Mature Christian Life)
Is your spiritual life lacking the freedom and overflow God promised? Dive into this powerful, scripture-packed teaching where we unpack the foundational principles of Love and Honor—the two signs that reveal a believer has truly been born again.

We also break down the importance of Honor: how honoring God with your finances leads to a bountiful overflow [32:01] and how true spiritual leadership is measured by the ability to love and honor every unique member of the body of Christ. Whether you are a spouse, parent, or church member, this message will recalibrate your heart to seek first the love of your Savior.

![The Donkeys 🫏
In this message, we explore how God often uses the most unlikely vessels—even those described as donkeys—to deliver His messages and fulfill His sovereign purposes. Drawing from a personal encounter in 2010 and biblical examples like Balaam, we discuss the importance of remaining humble, biblically literate, and pliable to the Holy Spirit’s refining fire.
True discipleship isnt about maintaining our own credentials or worldly status; it’s about allowing God to transform us from the inside out, moving from rebellion to a life that burns brightly for Him.
