    We live under two trees. The first tree was one by which Satan conquered us. But the second tree was one by which Jesus conquered Satan for us. And because of that we live.

    Intro Satan is patient, stoking the power of evil that he believes is stronger than God. He devises a scheme and becomes one with a snake. And there he waits. He will wait as long it takes to entrap and ensnare. And so he waits. He waits for Eve to walk past the Tree of the Knowledge of Good ...read more
