Satan on SermonAudio

The sermon interprets Revelation 20 through an amillennial lens, arguing that the binding of Satan occurred at Christ's first coming rather than a future literal millennium. It explains that this spiritual restraint prevents Satan from deceiving the nations, thereby enabling the global spread of the gospel during the church age. The preacher emphasizes that while Satan remains active in opposition, his power to stop the salvation of God's elect is nullified by Christ's authority. This theological perspective serves to encourage bold evangelism and missionary work, assuring believers that the mission cannot fail because Jesus is currently reigning from heaven. Ultimately, the message calls for confidence in the gospel's success and urgency in sharing it with all peoples.

In the final message of the Stand Guard series, Paul turns the church's attention from the danger of false teachers to the certainty of God's victory and the sufficiency of Christ's grace. The believer stands guard knowing that the God of peace will ultimately crush Satan and that the grace of Jesus Christ continually supplies what believers need to remain faithful.

James explores the spiritual battle against Satan's attacks by examining Ephesians 6:16, which commands believers to take up the shield of faith. He illustrates how the enemy uses fiery darts of doubt, fear, and sin to inflame the heart, but emphasizes that faith acts as a protective barrier by relying on God's character and promises rather than personal strength. His sermon clarifies that while temptations will inevitably strike, believers can extinguish their destructive power through trust in Scripture and immediate obedience. It encourages Christians to recognize these attacks as evidence of being in the battle rather than signs of failure, urging them to stand firm in the Lord's might. Ultimately, the teaching calls for a life of conscious dependence on God's strength to maintain peace and unity within the church and home.

Today, there are many self proclaimed christian ministers, who handle and distribute Spiritual snakes, and drink Spiritual poison, to prove their faith! Such, and all their followers, utterly fail to understand that God, is speaking, in this text, of the Spiritual discernment, Given only to the Elect. Scripture tells us, that such christian scoffers, which abound in our day, refuse to see the "snakes and poison", of false christendom, greatly promoted by satan today, while cunningly disguised as an angel of light! Such "snakes and poison"; True Christians, even if temporarily overtaken; can by Grace, tread upon, and conquer, by The Holy Spirit!

There have been hard times in all of our lives when we have wondered, "Where is God?" And even though God's presence is a central theme in the Book of Exodus, where do we see Him here in this first chapter? His apparent absence drives us to go looking for Him, and we do see Him here in several ways. God was busy fulfilling His coverant promises that He gave in the Book of Genesis to His covenant people. He caused His people to multiply, despite the Egyptians' satanic attempt to stop His plan of redemption. He was also fulfilling His original plans for His Creation, which He has not given up on, despite our rebellion against Him. In addition, He was blessing His people with many children, even though that was a motivator of the Egyptians' hatred for them. He was working with ordinary midwives in the ordinary circumstances of bearing children to bring about His purposes. The Lord may seem absent sometimes, but He was there for the Hebrews and He is still there for us now. He has never abandoned us, He has redeemed us through Jesus' perfect sacrifice on the cross, and He still blesses us. Nothing at all can ever separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ!

In his little letter, Jude alludes to the archangel Michael fighting Satan over Moses' corpse. As much as this might pique your curiosity, is it valuable? One commentator suggests that "this passage means very little to us." Hopefully you disagree.

This sermon examines John chapter 12, focusing on the audible voice from heaven that confirms Jesus as the Messiah and announces three pivotal events: the judgment of the world, the defeat of Satan, and the redemptive death of Christ. Listen along as Pastor Gable highlights how humanity responds to this divine revelation through dismissal, questioning, rejection, or belief, emphasizing the critical choice to walk in the light while it is available. It warns against the spiritual danger of loving human praise over God's approval and urges listeners to actively believe in Jesus and publicly proclaim their faith. The central message calls for a decisive response to God's drawing, moving from curiosity to committed trust in Christ as the only path to salvation.

We must apply biblical separation to be part of Christ's complete victory.
