Know Your Enemy | No Mercy | BRAVE Church | Pastor Jeff Schwarzentraub

What if the greatest threat to your faith isn't the culture around you, or even the enemy prowling in the darkness—but the enemy living within you? Pastor Jeff opened this powerful new series, No Mercy*, by anchoring the congregation in Romans 7, where the Apostle Paul—the foremost missionary theologian who gave everything for Christ—made a shocking confession: "The good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil I do not want." Pastor Jeff's defining insight cuts through the comfortable silence of church culture: we talk endlessly about the devil and the world, but we rarely name our own sin for what it is—an indwelling, overpowering, warring enemy that will defeat us if left unidentified. Drawing from his own 37-year faith journey, including his college struggles and a counselor's unexpected grace, Pastor Jeff called his congregation to stop blaming spouses, bosses, and circumstances, and instead look inward with ruthless honesty. The invitation this week is urgent and deeply personal: get before the Lord and ask, *"What am I refusing to call sin?" Because the enemy you refuse to identify will become the enemy that defeats you—and freedom begins the moment you finally call it by name.
