Demons on SermonAudio

Understanding the book of Revelations in reference to Jesus Christ.

This sermon examines the encounter between Jesus and the demon-possessed man in the Decapolis, highlighting the contrast between the chaos of demonic oppression and the sovereign authority of Christ. The preacher emphasizes that Jesus values human souls above material wealth, illustrated by His willingness to sacrifice two thousand pigs to liberate the man from the legion of demons. The response of the local population, who request Jesus to leave due to economic loss, serves as a critique of prioritizing possessions over spiritual salvation. In contrast, the healed man is commissioned to witness to his community, demonstrating that true freedom leads to a zealous proclamation of God's mercy. The message concludes by urging believers to recognize their own liberation from sin and to actively share their testimony of Christ's transformative power.

Can Christians appreciate nude art? The Roman Catholic and fine art traditions think so. But is nudity really ok as long as it's "non-erotic" and "artistic?" Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow investigate what scripture has to say about public nudity, shame, and lust. They discuss: - Is the body – God's creation – intrinsically shameful? - What the Bible says about uncovering nakedness…and what we all know to do when it happens accidentally. Should our response be any different when it's on purpose? - The problem with lust, and why coveting sexual fulfillment in images is sin – even if they're not of real people - What the church fathers said about the Roman statues we now consider so artistic - The connection between demonization and nudity, and how missionaries living among unclothed native peoples dealt with it Got a topic you want us to cover?

Wednesday Family Night Q&A on Demons and Demonic Activity

This sermon addresses the spiritual battles facing Christian families, emphasizing that the enemy often targets the father to disrupt the household. It illustrates how unresolved personal bondage, occult involvement, or unconfessed sin can create legal rights for demonic attack, affecting spouses and children with issues ranging from behavioral disturbances to severe mental health crises. The speaker urges fathers to take responsibility for their spiritual authority, to cleanse their homes and properties, and to pursue personal freedom through confession and prayer. By highlighting the theological truth that the enemy is already defeated, the message encourages believers to appropriate their victory in Christ, internalize biblical truth, and stand firm as protectors of their families against deceptive and destructive influences.

The sermon explores the theological foundation of spiritual warfare by examining Psalm 91 as a declaration of God's protective shelter for believers. It emphasizes that true victory is not derived from human strength but from abiding in the person and work of Jesus Christ, specifically through the cross. The teaching identifies the three primary enemies— the world system, the flesh, and the supernatural realm of darkness— and asserts that God's names reveal His attributes of omnipotence, refuge, and faithfulness. By dwelling in this divine shelter, believers are empowered to resist fear, overcome demonic oppression, and minister effectively to the spiritually oppressed. The message concludes with the assurance that God's ultimate purpose is to satisfy His people with the fullness of His salvation.

What is the Lord's Supper, and what do we receive and observe? See the contrast between the Table of the Lord, and Idolatry - the Table of Demons.

Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled. But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons," while others, to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven. But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil. Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. "When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order. Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first." As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!" But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"
