Schemes and Schemes
Suit Up: Winning the War Within, Part 2
June 8, 2025

Discussion Questions:

1.  Which of the enemy’s nine schemes do you personally feel the Church is most vulnerable to today? What about you personally?
   
   
2.  Ephesians 6 says to “stand against the schemes of the devil.” What does “standing” look like in your life right now—and where are you tempted to sit down spiritually?
   
   
3.  “The enemy doesn’t have to destroy the Church if he can distract, divide, or dilute it.” Which of those 3 tactics have you seen creep into Christian spaces or your own walk with Jesus?
   
   
4.  Which of the 9 counterpunches felt most like a challenge for you—and why?
   
   
5.  How does spiritual warfare shift when you remember the war is won, but the battles still must be fought?
   
   
6.  What does it practically look like to “put on” the armor of God each day? Is it a mindset? A habit? A prayer? A choice?
   
   
7. Towards the end of the message, Pastor Griff said, “Don’t give the enemy a seat at your table.” Where have you unintentionally done that—and what’s one step you can take this week to close that access?
