     | 10,616 views

    A sermon explaining just who the devil is; what he tries to do to us; and how he accomplishes it. A sermon most Christians should hear.

    Here is a figure that brings all varieties of thoughts to people’s heads. To some, the Devil is nothing more than a red Halloween costume with horns and a tail. They do not believe in the devil. He is a joke; a non-existent entity. To others, the Devil is a god himself, to be worshipped in all ...read more

We’ve talked about prayer and its importance, but ...read more
