The Condition of Mankind

Last week we began a new series for this season of Advent. In Part 1, we examined the God’s perfect plan, satan’s plan to destroy mankind, and the Promise of God to send a Seed to save mankind. The latter is called the protoevangelium (Genesis 3:15). This week we study some of the key prophecies spoken thousands to hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus.

A Five-Week Series to Explain Jesus as the Only Reason for the Season Part One: God's Plan...satan's plan..the fall of mankind

Public Enemy No.1 series was written to help Christians, and many others in our chaotic, unstable world, answer the question, “What the hell is going on?” To date I described six characteristics of satan, our fiercest enemy, leader of all the demons who were angels expelled from Heaven when he was. This message brings all six to a head by asking Christians hard questions about your life and how you respond or if you are equipped to respond to his onslaughts.

Tempter. Deceiver. Accuser. Murderer. Liar. Those are five words that speak to the nature and character of our fiercest enemy we have examined in this series to date. This evening I am going to teach an updated message taught Sunday on P6 - THIEF. Jesus shared three great dangers this enemy can cause in the lives of Christians if we are unprepared to combat them.

How our fiercest enemy "killed all of us"!

Key Bible Verse: "Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night." Revelation 12:10
