What comes to you mind when you hear the word church? I assume for a lot of us it is something positive. We do have a lot of people in culture today talking about church hurt, so it is an assumption. But what comes to your mind? A church you grew up in? A place of family memories: weddings, baby dedications, a funeral? The place you came to Christ? I hope your thoughts of the church are good. I feel blessed that all my memories of church from childhood to last Sunday, are good. I thank God for the church and what it means to me, but does that mean I know and understand what God wants the church to mean in my life?

Today we come to an interesting What Is question. They’re all interesting but today adds a little spooky to the interesting. What is Satan? Yes, there is a personal being devoted to opposing God and opposing God in and for you. To not believe in Satan is to reject the clear and consistent teaching of Jesus and the Scripture. Connected to this would be a study of angels and demons which we are going to do, but near the end. Today will be the individual character: Satan.

Jesus is not absent or distant from His people; He is actively working for them right now. In this message, we explore three present realities of Christ’s ministry: He represents us before the Father, welcomes us to draw near with confidence, and rules over all things for the good of His church. Because of what Jesus is doing now, believers can live with security, approach God boldly, trust Him fully, and worship Him deeply.

This is our third week looking at 'What Is the Son of God' and today we will look at His pre-existence and the prophecy surrounding Him. Next week we will look at what Jesus is doing right now. We can give ourselves to no greater pursuit than the knowledge of our Savior. It quickens the heart, strengthens the resolve, and purifies the soul.
