Prepare for Battle // Pastor Curt Buckmire

Message: Prepare for Battle Pastor Curt Buckmire 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 In this sermon "Prepare for Battle," Pastor Curt Buckmire of Spirit and Truth Worship Center addresses the spiritual warfare facing the modern church, warning that believers are often sidelined by "distractions" rooted in the flesh rather than the spirit. The message centers on 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, emphasizing that while we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. Pastor Buckmire argues that the church has lost sight of its spiritual mission, often trading biblical discipleship for motivational speaking, therapy-focused sessions, and social media controversy [08:14]. The Reality of Warfare: Pastor Buckmire explains that the Greek word for "war" (strateuomai) relates to strategy and military action. He warns that many believers lose battles simply because they are unaware they are even in a fight [08:23]. Motivation vs. Discipleship: The sermon critiques the trend of "motivational sessions" and "therapy sessions" behind the pulpit. Pastor Buckmire notes that when the focus is entirely on "you" and "your ego," it distracts from lifting up Jesus Christ [10:05], [13:26]. The "Dress" Distraction: Referring to current events in early 2026, the Pastor speaks on the viral controversy surrounding a pastor's wife's attire. He uses this as a prime example of a "distraction from the enemy," noting that the church is wasting energy fighting over clothing and ego rather than winning souls or affecting the community [24:58], [32:52]. Holiness and Humility: He calls for leaders and congregants to return to humility and holiness. He emphasizes that his role is not to be a therapist or a "gaslighter" to build up egos, but to empower people through the Word of God [35:44], [36:47]. Obedience to God: Pastor Buckmire concludes by sharing personal anecdotes about leadership and the importance of hearing from God for oneself rather than following the "blueprints" or suggestions of others [43:28].
