Satan on SermonAudio

En este capítulo aprendemos del gran compromiso exigido para los seguidores de Cristo Jesús, si van a triunfar sobre las fuerzas del infierno.

Beloved in the Lord Jesus: The world longs for what you have but they can't have it. You have God – not an abstract, distant God – but a God who loves and cherishes you, a God who blesses you and keeps you… a God who gives you what he wishes…and none can stop him… and none can take what he gives you… This was the same God who was in charge of Jacob's life and his God showed it… Laban tried to limit Jacob, but God blessed him tremendously and multiplied his animals. But Satan and his children never stop trying to hurt God's cause. Hear today what Satan's children continued to do to hurt Jacob, but how Jacob and his heavenly Father worked for success in his earthly mission. Our headings are: 1. Laban's Sons Reproved Jacob 2. Jacob Reassured his Wives 3. God Required Jacob to Return Home Our goals are: You will learn to block out the world's noise, you will listen to the voice of God and his assurances, and you will be ready to keep fighting for the kingdom of Jesus.

Adult Sunday School class verse-by-verse study through the book of Revelation.

Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet. 3 Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God." 5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. 7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?" "Yes," she said, "that is the price." 9 Peter said to her, "How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also." 10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.

To be involved in Christ's glorious cause of truth and righteousness is a great privilege which has been given to all His people. To overcome the spiritual forces of darkness that hinder the advance of His kingdom, we must pray. We know that together with the exercise of the graces of faith, hope, and love, which we have been given by Christ Himself, that prayer is our greatest spiritual responsibility. We know this because of the comprehensive language of the verse 18; the "alls" of the text. 1st – The words "praying always". 2nd – The words "with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit". 3rd – The words "being watchful with all perseverance". And 4th – The words "for all the saints". Let me open them up for you one at a time.

Christ's letter to the church in Pergamum is both a powerful commendation and a solemn warning. Living where "Satan's throne" was, the believers courageously held fast to Christ's name even in the face of persecution and martyrdom. Yet the Lord rebuked them for tolerating false teaching and moral compromise within the church. This sermon calls Christians to stand boldly for the truth, reject compromise, guard the purity of Christ's church through biblical faithfulness, and rest in the glorious promises reserved for all who overcome by His grace.

Jesus was misunderstood by His own family and maliciously accused by the religious leaders. His family said He was out of His mind. The scribes claimed that He cast out demons by the power of Satan. Jesus answered by revealing that He is the stronger Man who has entered Satan's house, bound the strong man, and is plundering his possessions. This sermon explains Christ's victory over Satan, His warning concerning blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, His abundant mercy toward repentant sinners, and His gathering of a new and everlasting family. Those who belong to Christ are not saved by their obedience, but those whom He saves are renewed to hear God's Word and do His will. Christ is the faithful Son who obeyed for us, the stronger Redeemer who delivers us, the merciful Savior who forgives us, and the risen Lord who gathers us into the household of God.

This sermon examines Genesis 3:1-11 to illustrate humanity's fallen state and the necessity of divine grace for salvation. The preacher explains that Adam and Eve's disobedience resulted in spiritual death, guilt, and an inability to cover their sin through human effort, symbolized by their fig leaves. God's question, "Where are you?" serves as a convicting call for individuals to recognize their separation from Him and their need for a Savior. The message highlights God's mercy in providing the first substitutionary sacrifice and promising a coming Redeemer who would defeat Satan. Ultimately, the sermon urges listeners to abandon self-righteousness and place their faith solely in Jesus Christ for forgiveness and eternal life.

Dr. Schmidt examines the spiritual warfare that Christians constantly face, and how the Christian can fight the wiles of the Satanic onslaught. This message was designed to prepare God's people for the Lord's supper, communion.
