Pastor John Isaacs gave a sermon titled "We're In the Army Now" about experiencing God in the church. He discussed how the Greek word for church, "ekklesia," means "the called out ones." He also noted several metaphors used to describe the church, including body, bride, family, building, vine, and army. The sermon focused on the metaphor of the church being like an army, drawing comparisons between how an army mobilizes, engages enemies, and fights, and how the church should evangelize, disciple, send out members, confront spiritual enemies, use spiritual weapons, and be commanded by God.
