Satan's Temptations

This sermon explores the theological significance of Jesus becoming the 'Captain of Salvation' by fully partaking in human nature to secure the redemption of God's elect. It highlights the profound sibling relationship established between Christ and believers, emphasizing that Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters despite their sinfulness. The message addresses the defeat of Satan's power over death, arguing that Christ's resurrection has removed the sting of sin and the fear of judgment for those who trust in Him. By illustrating the believer's status as a pardoned prisoner awaiting release, the sermon encourages a life of confidence, holiness, and mutual acceptance within the church family. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, urging believers to live with the joy of secured salvation and to treat one another with the same grace they have received from Christ.

Satan has gone after the children of God's people since Pharaoh and Herod. They will always be one of his main targets. What should Christian parents do? How should they prepare their kids for this battle? How can they keep from over-protecting? Kevin is joined by Daniel Craig to talk about the war on the next generation, and what parents should do about it… - Why the devil targets the seed of the woman, from Genesis 3:15 to Revelation 12 - Why Jesus' warning in Matthew 18 makes protecting children a parent's first priority - The difference between protecting to prepare and over-protecting out of fear, control, or pride - Why hating evil can't be the motive, and what the church in Ephesus lost - How Kevin's parents sheltered him in the 1970s without raising him in fear - Taking your kids to the front lines side by side, from abortion clinics to street evangelism - Why a steady, trusting parent beats a fearful, intense one Got a topic you want us to cover?

We are to be contentious with the wicked, but not contentious against what is good and right, or contentious out of spite or malice. https://bbfohio.com

Learning to Fear the Lord The ABCs of the Kingdom of God Key Scriptures: Proverbs 1:7; Proverbs 9:10; Deuteronomy 17:18–20; Jeremiah 9:23–24 Message Summary The fear of the Lord is the foundation of all kingdom wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Just as the ABCs form the foundation of reading and writing, the fear of the Lord forms the foundation of everything we do for God's glory. To fear the Lord is to give Him His rightful place in our lives, recognizing that His wisdom, authority, and understanding are greater than our own. The more we come to know the Lord, the more we reverence Him, love Him, and desire to walk in His ways. True wisdom is not simply accumulating biblical information but developing an intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The more we know Him, the more we learn to love what He loves and delight in what delights Him. Proverbs teaches us to recognize the patterns and consequences of life so that we can walk wisely without having to experience every danger ourselves. From the garden of Eden, we discover two competing approaches to life: God calls us to listen to Him so that we can learn how to live, while Satan tempts us to live independently of God and learn through experience. We don't have to experience everything God warns us against to know that His warnings are true. In Deuteronomy 17, God instructed Israel's kings to keep a personal copy of His Word, read it continually, and learn to fear Him. The purpose was to guard their hearts against pride, ground them in truth, grip them with His instruction, and guide them in righteousness. These same principles benefit every follower of Jesus today. Psalm 81 reveals God's desire

14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: 15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: 16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. 17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire. 18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us. 19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 20 For ye are our glory and joy.

PM sermons are preceded by a Confessional, Catechism, Historic Creed lesson, or a lesson from the NT (Usually 5 minutes or so) WCF 25:4 This catholic Church hath been sometimes more, sometimes less visible. And particular churches, which are members thereof, are more or less pure, according as the doctrine of the gospel is taught and embraced, ordinances administered, and public worship performed more or less purely in them. 5 The purest churches under heaven are subject both to mixture and error; and some have so degenerated as to become no churches of Christ, but synagogues of Satan. Nevertheless, there shall be always a Church on earth to worship God according to his will. EX 11:16 Therefore say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Although I have cast them far off among the Gentiles, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet I shall be a little sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone." '
