Sermons on Satanic Warfare:

Christian Armor

Contributed by Gerry Pratt on May 29, 2002

If every Christian is not fighting an active engagment with satan and with flesh/self...these individules are already DEAD!!! If we wish to remain spiritually alive and win the "prize" set before us, we must properly arm ourselves properly.

As Christians, we realize....all too soon in our Christian walk, that the battle between us and the lusts of the flesh...between us and the world...between us and the allurement of satan.....these things are tremendously difficult! A. When we read passages indicating that we are truly ...read more

Walking In A Fearless Life Style

Contributed by Jeff Budzinski on Mar 3, 2007

When you have an assurance of God’s love for you, you can’t be defeated. When you know who you are in Christ Jesus… Look out devil. Fearlessness is a definite sign of your victory. By appropriating the power of the blood of Jesus, you defeat Satan. Fearle

Rose Colored Glasses Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 15, 2005

The blush of first love wears off quickly for the children of Israel as God brings them some small tests to see how much they will trust Him. How much do you trust God? We also see the keys to spiritual warfare demonstrated.

New love is always interesting. We used to have a saying "you’re looking through rose-colored glasses." It meant that no matter how the other person was in reality, they always looked "rosy" to you because you were in love. Having rose colored glasses is a danger sign for a relationship that needs ...read more

Rocky - Preparing For The Fight Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 5, 2003

Why did Jesus take His disciples to Caesarea Philippi? Why go to a pagan, idolatrous city to ask His disciples the most important question of His ministry?

OPEN: I read once the story of a young black man in the ghettos. He was fortunate in that he had both of his parents, and they struggled to make ends meet.

Keeping Warm At The Enemy's Fire Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 19, 2004

When we see an apparently strong Christian face a spiritual defeat, we tend to think, "I would have expected that to happen to anyone but him." Peter’s denial while keeping warm at the enemy’s fire creates a similar surprise.

Title: Keeping Warm at the Enemy’s Fire Text: "Peter followed at a distance. But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them" (Luke 22:54-55 NIV).

The Land Of Narnia Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 5, 2005

Increasingly Christ has been pushed out of Christmas... but there is a deeper struggle and a higher objective for us who love Jesus. No matter how successful the world may be in removing Christ from Christmas... our Jesus is "on the move."

The Night Was Not Silent!

Contributed by Thomas Cash on Dec 10, 2009

Originally delivered at a high school convocation in 1995, another pastor recently asked me for these notes. Just as there was a lot of commotion surrounding the birth of God’s Son, we need to make a lot of noise about him today.

The Night was Not Silent! Luke 2:1-20; Genesis 3:14-15 Introduction: As we approach the celebration of the birth of Christ, the beautiful scenes depicted on countless Christmas cards swirl in our heads: A quiet winter’s night; a celestial spotlight from a star shining down on a lowly stable; a ...read more

An Indoor-Outdoor Spiritual Barbeque

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 14, 2015

A damning indictment against stubborn unbelief, and a shocking redefining of 'family'...

AN INDOOR-OUTDOOR SPIRITUAL BARBEQUE. Mark 3:20-35. Belief crowds in towards Jesus, oblivious of walls (oblivious of the roof on one occasion), in the hope of a healing touch (Mark 3:20).

Preventing Spiritual Identity Theft Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 26, 2023

Do you know who you are? Do you know you're identity in Christ? Might seems like a small matter, until you are stripped of it. Then it can make all the difference in the world.
