Series Title: Bible Tales from the Crypt
Sermon Title: Satan
Scriptures: 1 Peter 5:8
Intro:
We’ve reached the spookiest week of the year.
The week of Halloween.
I hope your candy bowls are stocked up to prevent an TP-ing happening.
It also means we have reached the last week of our series, where as last week we talked about something that is NOT real (Zombies) This week we are talking about some one who is VERY real… Satan.
(Read 1 Peter 5:8)
Today I hope to bring the light, the prince of darkness so his plans would be foiled, and Christ’s Church would be equipped to defeat the enemy in Jesus name.
Let me pray…
