Belonging To God's Family

1 Lose, 1 Win, Your Turn

Contributed by Oliver Wong on Nov 25, 2013

The sermon takes a look at the cosmic struggle between evil and good - between Satan and Eve (and Adam) (Round 1), Satan and Jesus (Round 2), and finally Round 3...Satan vs. YOU... Special attention is paid on 1 John 2:15-17 concerning Satan's 3 weapons.
