Satan is real, but he is not equal with God. He is neither all-powerful nor sovereign. Scripture presents him as a created and limited adversary who opposes God, attacks the truth, and works primarily through deception. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins considers what the Bible teaches about Satan and his schemes. Drawing from John 8:44 and 2 Corinthians 11:14, Dave explains Satan's character as a liar, his use of deception, and why Scripture warns that he can disguise himself as an angel of light. Christians should neither ignore Satan nor exaggerate his power. Instead, believers are called to remain alert, exercise biblical discernment, and stay firmly grounded in the truth of God's Word. Satan is real, but he is limited. God alone is sovereign, and Christians can face spiritual warfare with clarity rather than fear because Christ and His grace are sufficient.

Galatians 1:6-12 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 ¶ For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Why does life still feel confusing and unsatisfying even when we try to live wisely? In this introduction to Ecclesiastes, Dave Jenkins begins a journey through one of the Bible's most honest and searching books. Ecclesiastes confronts the temporary nature of life, the limits of success and pleasure, and humanity's search for lasting meaning. The Preacher describes life "under the sun" as vanity, a vapor that cannot be grasped or held. Wealth, achievement, pleasure, work, and human wisdom cannot ultimately satisfy the heart. Ecclesiastes forces us to face the reality of life in a fallen world and directs us toward the only One who can give lasting meaning.

This sermon explores the theological order of salvation, emphasizing that God's sovereign grace and predestination established the plan for redemption before the foundation of the world. It examines Paul's ministry in Romans 1, highlighting his constant prayer life and deep desire to visit the Roman church as evidence of mutual edification through Christian fellowship. The text underscores the absolute security of believers, anchored in Christ's finished work and God's unchanging purpose rather than human effort. By analyzing passages like Ephesians and Hebrews, the message affirms that salvation is entirely God's initiative, ensuring peace and confidence for the elect. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to rest in divine providence, recognizing that all events, including Paul's imprisonment, serve to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ.

A.W. Tozer argues that Christians can experience a greater filling of the Holy Spirit—but only if certain conditions are met. Is that what Scripture actually teaches, and what happens when the absence of spiritual power is blamed on the believer?

Sermon explains how the free offer of the gospel is for all people, elect or not. It is the duty of all sinners to repent. Christ really and freely offers all of Himself to you.
