Demons on SermonAudio

The sermon warns against the pervasive influence of witchcraft, sorcery, and occult practices in modern culture, particularly through media such as Harry Potter, video games, and self-help teachings. It defines witchcraft as religious ritualism seeking supernatural results through invoked spiritual forces, contrasting this with the biblical faith that relies solely on the grace of Jesus Christ rather than spoken words or rituals. The speaker critiques the Word of Faith movement and certain Christian leaders for promoting concepts like 'faith-filled words' and self-love, which are identified as forms of enchantment or rebellion against God. Personal anecdotes from ministry in Africa illustrate the tangible reality of demonic opposition and the power of prayer to overcome such spiritual attacks. The message concludes with a call for parents and pastors to exercise discernment, train their children in biblical truth, and reject any cultural or religious practices that align with occult principles.

How does satan use your sensuous desires against you? How can a christian experience victory over the devil's temptations with these desires? The answer is here.

The sermon recounts a missionary's struggle to communicate the gospel to an unreached tribe, highlighting the progression from linguistic barriers to spiritual opposition and finally to cultural skepticism. The speaker describes how demonic forces blinded the minds of the listeners, preventing them from accepting the truth despite the missionary's fluency in their language. This impasse was broken not by human argument, but by God's intervention through miraculous signs, including a man rising from the dead and visions that confirmed the missionary's testimony. These events served as divine validation, overcoming the tribe's disbelief and leading to genuine conversions that endured for decades. The narrative challenges the theological assumption that such sign gifts are limited to the early church, asserting instead that God uses them in any era when there is a need to establish the truth among unreached people.

In this evening message, Pastor Rockhill continues his study of the parables of Jesus, turning from Luke to Matthew's record of the wise and foolish builders in the closing words of the Sermon on the Mount. His central burden is that genuine saving faith is never mere profession but is demonstrated by a life of obedience to the will of the Father. Drawing on the sobering warning that precedes the parable, he reminds the congregation that even those who prophesy, cast out demons, and perform wonders may still hear Christ say, "I never knew you." Pastor Rockhill shows that both the wise and the foolish man hear the same words of Christ; the difference lies in whether they believe and obey. The wise man builds upon the rock of the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only foundation that can withstand the storms of trial, suffering, and the final judgment. The foolish man, concerned only with outward appearance and his own glory, builds upon sand, and his house collapses in great ruin. The doctrine pressed home is that true faith rests wholly upon Christ and bears the fruit of love and obedience by the power of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Rockhill applies this searchingly, calling each hearer to examine whether they merely hear with the ears or truly receive the word in the heart. As the congregation prepares to come to the Lord's table, he urges them to build their lives upon the sure and certain rock of Christ, that their faith may remain secure when the storms inevitably come.
