The Paradox Of Blessing Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Resist The Devil Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Aug 28, 2020

I see way too many Christians ineffective in their life because the devil has them tied up in knots. And in the Scriptures, God tells us as Christians what to do, but we are just not doing it. And I believe that it has to do with us not knowing how to resist the devil.
