In Week 2 of our “The Devil’s Playbook” series, Pastor Chad Murphy tackles the question, “Is God really good?” by examining Genesis 3:1–7 and the serpent’s temptation of Adam and Eve. This message explores how the devil tempts us by making us question God’s goodness, distort His Word, and believe that sin offers freedom when it actually leads to spiritual slavery. If you’ve ever struggled with doubt, temptation, or wondering whether God is holding out on you, this sermon exposes how spiritual deception works and how grace in Jesus Christ heals misplaced desires. Discover how to resist temptation, recognize Satan’s schemes, and trust in the true goodness of God.

In this weeks message we learn satan’s primary weapon is deception, not destruction. He wins when we stop believing truth. The battle isn’t out there; it’s in here. The enemy plays on our desires more than our fears. To stand firm, you must know God’s truth intimately. Scripture is not for quoting at others but for fortifying ourselves.
