The Spirit of Entitlement
Demolishing Strongholds is a powerful sermon series exposing four destructive mindsets—entitlement, immaturity, shortsightedness, and comfort over calling—that undermine our families, weaken our culture, and divide the Church. Join us as we learn how to tear down these strongholds through the truth of God’s Word and the power of Christ! Thanks for worshiping with us today!

TALK IT OVER
1. In what ways do you see the “spirit of entitlement” showing up in our culture, our churches, or even our own hearts—and how can God’s Word (our sword) help us recognize and tear down those strongholds?
2. Which of the three fruit of the Spirit—patience, kindness, or faithfulness—do you personally need to lean into more to defeat entitlement and reflect Christ in your family, church, or culture? Why?
3. How can we shift our mindset from “I deserve” to “I serve with gratitude”? What practical steps can we take this week to embrace humility, gratitude, and purpose-driven commitment?
