    Having grown up in hte desert, I know how harsh the place is and how tempting the options presented by hte devil really are. On the surface the temptations seem harmless and perhaps even good in the right hands but they all take our attention off God.

    I grew up going to the desert, and thought that I knew what the desert lands are all about. I’ve been camping many times in the Anza Berrego wilderness and understand that the desert is a harsh and foreboding place. I know to stay on the trails, look for snakes and take lots of extra water.

    Lent 2: A continuing sermon series this part focusing on temptation. This sermon is focused on the sources of temptation: the devil; the world and our own sinful nature. Our help comes from only one place - Jesus - our Lord who has already conquered sin

    Last week we began a sermon series entitled, “Breaking the Chain.” The message series deals with how to handle temptation in our own lives. Last week we talked about two different topics: First - Why do we need to deal with the subject of temptation? – There are basically two reasons: a. Our ...read more

    The one who had opened blind eyes, made the lame to walk again, and the deaf to hear. The one who could raise the dead-was dead Himself! They placed Him in a tomb, sealed the door, and placed guards at the door. At that moment the devil rejoiced; he thoug

    Do you ever feel like you are damaged goods and God can’t use you because of your sin and weakness? That may actually be a sly plot of the devil, but God is great about turning your mistakes in His victory as He did for Joshua.

    If you are Joshua, what do you do? Here you’ve come out of the starting gate, primed by God’s miracle in the river crossing, pumped by God’s miraculous defeat at Jericho-then your bubble is popped big time by the fact that you showed some arrogance in thinking you were invincible.

    I wish that once I became a Christian my struggle with sin, depression, discouragement, bad habits would be overcome with just a prayer. If we want freedom/victory it means we have to square off with our devils . . . just like Jesus did in the wilderness.

    We've all been there and heard those faith destroying words sent from the devil (there is nothing) no money, no love, no hope, but God says in that very same place where you heard those words will come forth an abundance. The rain is on it's way.

    You know the story: Israel is being ruled by a wicked king named Ahab, he has not only led Israel away from God into Idolatry but he has also married a witch named Jezebel. Together they led the children of Israel into deep rebellion and false worship. God raised up a prophet that would not be ...read more

    The devil is a real, malevolent, evil fallen angel, the sworn enemy of God and His people. He is active but limited in his schemes, destined along with the demons and all who follow him to be judged by the Lord Jesus and cast into hell for eternity. Heed what the Scriptures teach.

    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

    The Devil called a worldwide meeting of his demons. Keep them distracted with the nonessentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds. so that they would have little or no time for God, for their families, and much less time to tell others about Jesus’ power to change lives.

    The Lord Jesus is in His last moments of agony and pain, both physically and spiritually as He completes His mission of redemption for fallen humanity. It looked on the surface, however, like a victory for his enemies and the devil as He died and was placed in a borrowed tomb, or so it would seem.

    (Adapted from an outline by Mark A. Copeland) Following a night and morning of torture, ridicule, and mockery, Jesus was taken away to be crucified (Mark 14:53-15:25). For six long, horrendous, cruel hours He hung on the cross, and to add insult to injury, He heard the continuing mockery ...read more
