The good news of Easter is that God's love is stronger than death. The devil wants us to believe that Jesus is dead, but the truth is that Jesus is alive. His Spirit now lives in us, and now we have the power to overcome death.

What the Devil Wants is for us to exchange Jesus for something else—something that can never be worth the exchange or measure up to our hopes. In this message, we look at betrayal versus faithfulness.

God wants us to have a genuine sense of community. The devil wants us to feel alone or feel connected in unhealthy ways. This week, we learn together how to prepare ourselves against the separation that the devil wants.

Good relationships are what God wants for us. The devil, on the other hand, works toward disharmony by prodding us to judge others, talk about one another, and be divided from each other.

In our life, there’s an easy road and a road that requires self-denial, hard work, and confrontation. This week in the What the Devil Wants series of messages, we look at how Jesus calls us to the harder route toward life and how the devil tempts us to take a comfortable route toward destruction.

The reality of diabolical evil is clear every time a person uses their power to harm others. In focusing on the subject of evil in this season of Lent, we hope that learning together about the spiritual powers of darkness will equip us to become more potent agents for good in the world.
