The Dragon

Jeff Gordon
Revelation 12

John describes a vision of a great, red dragon that God protects a woman from. The woman is pregnant and gives birth to a child. The dragon pursues her and attacks the rest of her children. The dragon represents Satan; the woman represents Israel; and the child represents Jesus. The vision illustrates how there is a hidden war going on around us, and Satan uses humans to fight.

The War Behind the War

Mike Sullivan
Revelation 12:1-17

In the book of Revelation, there is a massive war described. Really, this was is a culmination of the spiritual war that exists right now between Satan's lies and God's truth. Our role in this is to embrace the fact that there is a spiritual war and to learn how to respond to Satan's schemes as he seeks to accuse, deceive, and devour.

Living in a Hostile World

Conrad Hilario
John 15:18-16:33

The world system, or kosmos, is critiqued and drawn out in the topic of materialism and hedonism. It is used as Satan's tool to oppose believers and distract people from their relationship with God, and we are taught how to escape its grasp and focus on how Jesus overcame it.

The Light of the World

Scott Risley
John 8:12-59

Jesus warns his critics and the crowd that he is the light of the world. He is our greatest need. Without Jesus, we will walk in the darkness which is a life of confusion rather a life of freedom from sin and a life headed to eternity.

In the World but Not of the World

Ryan Weingartner
1 Corinthians 9:19-22

The last thing Jesus prays for his followers before he was crucified was to be in the world, but not of the world. How do followers of Jesus do this? By displaying Jesus' love to the watching work, Christians are able to stand out as distinct from Satan's world system. Followers of Jesus are distinct in the areas the Bible emphasizes and in pursuing the eternal things rather than temporary things of this world.

Battling the Lion

Scott Risley
Ephesians 6:10-17

Peter describes how to resist Satan. Spiritual warfare is a battle of truth between God and Satan. Believers resist Satan by putting on the full armor of God: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the peace that comes from the Good News, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. Satan's tactics involve accusations against God (doubt), against other people (division), and against believers and their efforts to serve God. Believers resist Satan in the strength of God's power and the truth of Scripture.

The Hunting Lion

Scott Risley
1 Peter 5:8-9

Peter warns his audience about God's enemy: Satan. Satan is a magnificent created being whose pride led to his fall. Satan works in two main ways. First, he guards his turf (non-Christians) by accusing God, distorting God's message, distraction or bribery. Second, he attacks Christians by persecution, opposing any effort to serve God, temptation, and accusation.

Spiritual Warfare (Part 2)

Dennis McCallum
2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Since Satan does exist, Peter urges his audience to resist his claims. The way we engage in this spiritual battle is through active trust in Biblical facts. This comes down to the question: am I going to believe what Satan says, or what God says? Those who believe in what God says and have faith in Him are able to put on the armor of God and demolish the lies that will continue to confuse our minds. \r\n

Spiritual Warfare

Dennis McCallum
1 Peter 5:8-9

One of Satan's greatest tactics is leading people to believe that he is not real and has no influence in our lives. Satan has a huge influence in the world and directly in people's lives, causing spiritual warfare. Satan's ultimate goal is to destroy people's lives and render Christians ineffective in this world. Although this is true, God has defeated Satan and came to give life, and life abundantly!\r\n
