    The One Time Satan Was Right!

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Dec 2, 2002
    based on 84 ratings
     | 7,060 views

    Satan is a liar and the father of it but there were two times he was right. One was in this passage. The other is found in Matthew 4:6. This outline looks at the significance of the "hedge" God has put about His children.

    THE ONE TIME SATAN WAS RIGHT "Then Satan answered the Lord, ’Does Job fear God for nothing? Hast Thou not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land." Job 1:9-10. I. "HAST THOU ...read more

    Babylon, like Israel, was in danger of judgment and being taken by a foreign nation. This message views the reason why a country falls from God’s grace, causing Him to lift His hedge of protection.

    In our last two messages from this series, I asked us to consider this important question: “What would we, as believers, do if our country ever came under siege by a foreign nation that did not believe in God or His Son, Jesus Christ?” In the most recent of our previous messages, we learned some ...read more

    Looking For Your Destiny

     | 965 views

    Beware of those who prophesy a rosy destiny as God called very few, if any, to that kind of destiny. Roses have thorns so buckle up.

    Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and ...read more

    Sermon Outline: "God Alone Is Sovereign”

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Sep 15, 2025
     | 180 views

    God alone is sovereign—He grants visions, He allows thorns, and He shows His power not through our strength, but through our weakness.

    I. A Vision Beyond Words (vv. 2–4) Paul recounts being “caught up” to Paradise. He emphasizes what he does not know: “Whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know. God knows.” The content of the vision is hidden—“inexpressible words…not lawful to utter.” Point: Even in revelation, Paul ...read more

    When God Says No

    based on 1 rating
     | 14,929 views

    Like Paul, we all have a "thorn in the flesh." We can learn from Paul that God allows it, Satan sends it, and we can accept it. Because when we are weak, then we are strong, with God's strength on display through our weakness.

    2 Corinthians 12:7-10 When God Says No Have you ever received a “no” answer from God? It hurts, right? You think you know best, you really do. And then God says, “I don’t think so.” Well, it particularly hurts when you’ve been suffering, and not only does God not remove the suffering, but maybe ...read more

    We can work so long for God that we tend to forget His benefits. As we build a hedge and stand in the gap we can release God’s restraining power to bring new victory to others.

    Go! Compel Them To Come In

     | 28,471 views

    Jesus used a parable regarding a great supper to illustrate the eternal truths of salvation. In this parable, He emphasized our responsibility in reaching the unsaved. We must be willing to go into the highways and hedges of life, compelling them to come.

    Go! Compel them to Come In Luke 14:23 Our text verse comes from a parable of our Lord, where once again He addressed the hypocrisy and self-righteous arrogance of the Pharisees. Having dealt with their teachings regarding the Sabbath and their desire for recognition, one of them spoke of the ...read more
