    This message is about what the Bible says about how our words can get us into trouble. If we can learn to control our tongues then we will decrease the things our adversary can use against us. Remember, "everything we say can and will be used against us."

     | 1,948 views

    Isaiah prophetically recalls the fall of Lucifer while addressing God’s judgment upon Babylon. Lucifer, whose name would be changed to Satan (“the adversary”) is conceptually linked to the arrogance of the King of Babylon.

     | 5,511 views

    The Christian life is not a playground. It is a battleground. And our enemy is a crafty adversary. One of his greatest tools is to convince Christians that he is not a threat. He minimizes sin and its effect until even believers are so tangled in it that

    This is a sermon about a personality who has been incredibly successful in convincing people that he does not exist, and has done such a good job with this deception that it is estimated that 65 % of professing "Christians" do not believe in his literal existence or that he is merely ...read more
