Jonathan Cahn claims that the mysterious "throne of Satan" in Revelation 2:13 can be identified—and that its rediscovery is connected to some of the darkest events in modern history. We examine the biblical text, the history, and a critical review of Cahn's extraordinary claims.

In Genesis 3:1-6, we come to the foundational account of humanity's fall into sin. In this sermon, Jeremiah Gabbard examines the disobedience of man and the events that brought sin and separation from God into the human race. This passage reveals three important aspects of man's departure from God: the resistance of God's will, the rejection of God's Word, and the desertion of God's way. The subtle work of the adversary, the devil, is also examined as he introduces doubt, contradicts God's Word, and suggests that God is withholding something good from man. The sermon also considers the pattern of temptation and its appeal to the body, soul, and spirit, contrasting the outward-in approach of temptation with the inward-out work of Christ. Genesis 3 reminds us that man cannot achieve righteousness through his own efforts, but is completely dependent upon the grace of God. This message challenges us to view the Fall from God's perspective and to recognize the seriousness of sin, the authority of God's Word, and man's need for divine grace.

The Jewish people have gotten too comfortable living in Persia and God is allowing pressure to remind them that obedience to Him is a better way. The king's power was an illusion and there was a spiritual battle going on with Satan running the show behind the king.

This sermon explores the structure of the Epistle of Jude, identifying it as a 'battlefield letter' designed to equip believers to contend for the faith. The teaching highlights the chiastic structure of the book, which bookends the central theme of apostasy with the assurance of the Christian's salvation. Drawing parallels to military preparation, the message emphasizes that believers are sanctified, preserved, and called by God, providing a secure foundation before engaging in spiritual conflict. The enemy's primary tactic is described as instilling doubt regarding God's Word, promises, and the believer's standing, whereas the Christian response is rooted in the full assurance of faith, hope, and understanding. The sermon concludes by urging believers to rest in God's mercy and peace, maintaining a posture of compassion and resilience as they navigate the challenges of the last days. Questions: Why does the book of Jude begin and end with assurance? What does the Bible mean by full assurance of faith? How can a Christian know for sure that they are saved? What does Jude mean when he says Christians are sanctified, preserved, and called? What does it mean to be preserved in Jesus Christ? Can a Christian have complete assurance of eternal life? Why is assurance important before contending for the faith? How does Satan use doubt to attack Christians? Why does Satan try to make Christians doubt the Word of God? What does it mean to earnestly contend for the faith in Jude 3? Who are the apostates Jude warns Christians about? Why does Jude warn about false teachers inside the church? Does God protect Christians during spiritual battles?

Dr. David Brown, Pastor Emeritus of the First Baptist Church in Oak Creek, has a Masters in Theology and a Ph.D in History, specializing in the history of the English Bible.

For years he has conducted research on witchcraft, the occult, fantasy role playing games and The Dark Side of Halloween. Note this from I Peter 5:8, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." Satan is subtle. Scripture refers to him as the "god of this world", as "the prince of the power of the air" as "the father of lies" as a "destroyer", as one who is "the deceiver of the whole world," and yet as one who transforms himself "as an angel of light." With this in mind, this edition of Crosstalk comes as a warning concerning a new series coming out first on Freeform then on Disney+, Hulu, and Freeform On Demand. It's called Coven Academy which reportedly "follows three teenage witches and their dangerously charming warlock peers an at elite magic school where power is currency, secrets are lethal, and attraction is a liability." So become informed and hear the background of the characters behind Coven Academy, excerpts from the trailer, why the concepts of good witches/bad witches and white magic/black magic are false, and finally how Scripture clearly shows that this program is promoting the occult.

This sermon examines the theological tension in 1 John 3:18 regarding the relationship between believers and sin, clarifying that while Christians do not practice habitual sin, they are not immune to individual failures. The message emphasizes that the power of sin is broken in the life of a true believer, who is kept safe by the Son of God against the influence of the devil. It challenges the audience to distinguish between the saved and the unsaved, asserting that there is no middle ground or gray area in one's spiritual standing. The preacher warns against the complacency of those who remain content in the grasp of Satan and urges believers to actively guard against idols, defined as anything that takes precedence over God. The tone is pastoral yet convicting, calling for self-examination and a renewed commitment to deny oneself and serve God exclusively.

If Satan can't get the messengers to stop preaching, if he can't destroy or intimidate them, then Satan seeks to cause division about the truth of the gospel. We will study the special council at Jerusalem in Acts 15.
