Today’s Sunday School Lesson
The Book of Revelation, Chapter 13:1-10
The Antichrist – The Beast Out of the Sea
Whether literal or symbolic, the events and characters revealed in these chapters (12-15) tell us that the world will become a spiritual battle-zone for the final conflict between God and Satan. Satan seeks to establish a false religious system with an imitation of the Divine Trinity. Satan seeks to take the place of God the Father; the Antichrist the role of Jesus Christ, the Messiah and ruler of the world; and the False Prophet the role of the Holy Spirit who calls us to worship God.

The Truth Shall Set You Free

Today’s Sermon
Ephesians Series: 6:14-17
The Armor of God: Protection from Evil
The reality of the Christian life is that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against “the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”. We are engaged in a war against an invisible enemy with the goal of causing our moral and spiritual defeat. The protection of the armor of God is a defense that works every time it’s tried. It’s time to strap it on and stand firm.

The Glory of the Heavens

Scripture Reading
But as for you, Bethlehem Ephratah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity. And He will arise and shepherd His flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God. And they will stand, because at that time He will be great to the ends of the earth, and this One will be our peace. Micah 5:2, 4-5 NASB
