Southridge Church Podcast

As we continue our conversation on the spiritual realm, we discuss where does Satan come from? Is Satan actually named in the Old Testament? What about the serpent in the garden and the story of Job? In Genesis 1:26, is the "us" referring to the divine council or the trinity?

Listen to Episode 242 of the Extra Point as Pastor Scott dives deeper into Sunday's teaching on the unseen realm!

Where did Satan come from? Who is the serpent in the Garden of Eden? And how much of what we believe about Satan actually comes from Scripture?

Many of the things Christians believe about Satan have been shaped by tradition, but what does the Bible really say?

In Part 2 of our series on Satan and demons, Pastor Scott Beha explores what Scripture reveals about Satan's origins, how the Old and New Testaments describe him, and why the Bible spends far more time telling us about Satan's defeat than his beginning.

But this message goes beyond understanding who Satan is. It's about recognizing how the enemy operates and learning to stand firm against his tactics.

What exactly does the word elohim mean in regards to Psalm 82 and other texts that we see in regards to the creation of the heavenly realms? What did God create heavenly or divine being for in the first place? And why is this not polytheism?

What does the Bible actually teach about the spiritual realm?

We tend to focus on the parts of creation we can see—but Scripture tells a much bigger story. From Genesis to Psalms to the New Testament, the Bible describes an unseen spiritual realm that exists alongside the physical world we experience every day.

In this message from our Hot Ones series, we begin answering the question, “Where did Satan come from, and are demons real?” But before we can answer that, we have to understand the biblical picture of heaven, spiritual beings, the divine council, and what Scripture means when it uses words like “elohim.”

And while some of this may sound strange or unfamiliar, it leads us to an incredibly important truth: there is always more going on than we can see—and God is always more active than we realize.

Now that we've finished our teaching on Baptism, how does someone know if they should really be baptized? What does the story from Genesis to Revelation reveal to us about baptism?

If baptism doesn’t save you, why does it matter so much?

Jesus commanded His followers to be baptized. The early church baptized new believers almost immediately. And Paul describes baptism as a picture of dying to our old life and being raised into something new.

So baptism clearly matters—but why?

In the final week of our conversation about baptism, we trace the story of water throughout Scripture—from the chaos waters of Genesis, through the Exodus, Jonah, the baptism and crucifixion of Jesus, and ultimately to the river of life in Revelation.

Along the way, we discover that baptism is much more than a religious ritual. It is a public declaration of the story Jesus is writing in us: death to the old life, identification with Christ, and resurrection into new life.

Baptism does not save you—but it is definitely what saved people do.

The answer to the question, "who or what you are trusting in," makes a major difference in the life of a believer. What if fully surrendering to Jesus and trusting in him as LORD, not just Savior, changes everything? Listen to Episode 238 as Pastor Scott Beha and Cheryl Ross dive deeper into the reason why we get baptized, who should be baptized and how our lives should be different on the other side of it.

If baptism doesn’t save us, why does it matter? And if Jesus was completely sinless, why did He choose to be baptized?

In Part 2 of our conversation on baptism, we look at Matthew 3 and the three types of people who came to John the Baptist—including the one person who seemingly had no reason to be baptized at all: Jesus.

Jesus didn’t step into the Jordan because He needed forgiveness or cleansing. He stepped into the water to identify Himself with us—to stand where sinners stand and ultimately do for us what we could never do for ourselves.

Baptism doesn’t save you. Jesus saves you.

So the question isn’t simply, “Have I been baptized?” The deeper question is: Who or what am I trusting in?
