Excuses, Excuses the Devil's Delight

I’ve just got a lot going on.”
“I can watch online.”
“I still love God — I just don’t do organized religion.”

Sound familiar? In Part Two of our eye-opening series Why Church?, Pastor pulls back the curtain on one of the enemy’s oldest and most effective weapons: excuses.

This message, Excuses, Excuses – The Devil’s Delight, exposes how spiritual procrastination, avoidance, and rationalization have become strongholds that disconnect believers from their divine assignment — and worse, from the spiritual covering, community, and power of the local church.

Drawing from Hebrews 10:25, Luke 14, and Acts 12 & 13, Pastor walks us through:

  • How excuses create spiritual isolation, and isolation is the devil’s favorite playground.
  • Why excuses feel valid, but are often masks for unhealed wounds, pride, fear, or apathy.
  • The truth that you don’t grow by hopping church to church, or watching random sermons online — you grow by being planted in the house God assigned you to.

This message will challenge the casual, call out the comfortable, and confront the spiritually lukewarm. If last week’s sermon laid the foundation, this week’s message is the call to tear down the barriers of inconsistency, fear, and convenience that keep believers from being all in.

Here’s what you’ll gain from this message:

  • ‍ A biblical dismantling of modern-day excuses
  • A personal inventory of your level of commitment
  • A clear next step: repentance, reconnection, and recommitment

“Don’t make your church your last resort.”
“You grow where you’re planted, not where you’re potted.”
“Excuses are the enemy’s delight — and your spiritual downfall.”

It’s time to stop letting the enemy talk you out of your post.
This isn’t just about going to church — it’s about being the church and staying faithfully connected to your assignment.

No more sideline Christianity. No more spiritual hitchhiking. No more blaming your disconnection on “life.”

If you’ve ever felt spiritually stuck, spiritually dry, or spiritually alone — this message is for you.
Listen. Repent. Reconnect.
Excuses don’t build anything — but commitment builds the Kingdom.

Catch Part Two. Your breakthrough might be waiting on the other side of your consistency.
