The Tactics of the Enemy

Jesus said the Devil is a liar, and that is the most common weapon he uses against us. The problem is he’s very good at sneaking up to our table and spreading his lies. But Scripture helps us see these lies for what they are. As we start to recognize his lies, as we realize what he’s trying to do behind those lies, it becomes easier for us to deny them and claim God’s promises in the 23rd Psalm for us.

In the Presence of Our Enemies

March 5, 2023 • Randy Hageman • Psalm 23, Romans 8:6, Philippians 4:8, Romans 12:2, Philippians 2:9–11

The sad truth is that this side of Heaven our lives will never be devoid of evil influences. But God has prepared a table in the presence of our enemies to help us live victoriously. But to do that, we need God’s help to change the way we think. We need truths that we can not only stand on, but that God can guide us and equip us and empower us to wield in our battle against the enemy, and we’ll explore those today!

God’s Invitation Always Stands

February 26, 2023 • Randy Hageman • 1 John 1:8–9, Ephesians 2:8–10, John 3:16–18, Psalm 23, Romans 5:6–9

No matter how careful we are, at least on occasion, Satan is going to sneak up to our table with God, and he will try to deceive us. When he uses tools such as guilt and shame, when he condemns us, it’s important to distinguish these from God’s legitimate voice that may need to speak into our lives, addressing real sin, but Who will never condemn the follower of Jesus. Today we’ll seek to discern where God speaks and where Satan attempts to deceive us.

The Path to Victory

February 19, 2023 • Psalm 23, Philippians 2:12–13, 2 Corinthians 6:2, 1 John 3:1–3, 1 Corinthians 15:57

God wants us to win the battle for our minds. He has marked off the path that guides us in the victory that Jesus Christ gives. When we identify lies and replace them with Truth, we are freed to follow our Good Shepherd and enjoy the benefits of His way!
