Otherside // A journey through Exodus / 01. Otherside Pt.2 // Battle - Matt Simmonds // Exodus 17:8-16

01. Otherside Pt.2 // Battle - Matt Simmonds // Exodus 17:8-16

In this preach, Matt Simmonds explores Exodus 17 and the story of Israel's battle against Amalek. It emphasises how God's people, though delivered from slavery, still face attacks from external enemies, symbolising the kind of spiritual battles believers face today. Matt highlights the tactics of the enemy - attacking at moments of weakness and rest - and draws parallels to how the enemy works in our lives. The sermon teaches that victory comes through prayer, remembering God’s past faithfulness, and standing together in community. Ultimately, it points to Jesus' decisive victory on the cross, encouraging us as believers to fight spiritual battles not with our own strength but by relying on Christ’s finished work.
