Sympathy For The Devil?: Part One
June 11, 2023
Hello Kingdom Family,
Welcome to our Jesus-centered community. We are glad you are listening to today’s message. “We are People Helping People Experience a Jesus-centered Life.”
Today we start a two-part series titled “Sympathy For The Devil?” In today’s message, we unpack Isaiah 14:12-14 and Ezekiel 28:12-18. The subject of Satan, the Devil, demons, Lower Power, Darkside, the Enemy, Lucifer, Evil, and Spiritual Warfare are highly confusing, hard to understand, and often misconstrued. In this new messages series, we will tackle these subjects and uncover, discover, and discard any twisted perceptions about “The Devil.”
Before you listen to the message, you are encouraged to go to our website and download the lesson bulletin for this message, dated June 11, 2023. The bulletin contains questions to reflect on as an individual, couple, or small group. You can find them on the home page and click the Bulletins and Lesson Plans tab. Today’s message is “Sympathy For The Devil?: Part One.”

Today’s message for Sunday, July 5, 2020, is titled “A Special Kind of Freedom.” In our message today, Pastor Harold unpacks Matthew 11:16-19; 25-30 and helps us understand the difference between the “world system” versus “The Kingdom of God.” The principalities and powers of this world influence our lives to the point of delusion, where we believe we are in full control of our lives. Human beings tend to reject God because they wish to play God themselves and rule their own lives. This lust and quest to do what we want, how we want, and when we want, has been in existence since “the fall of humankind” in the Garden of Eden. If we are honest with ourselves, when we look back at our lives as individuals, as America and the world, we see where we made decisions based on self, which later put us in a position to be hurt. To become genuinely free can only happen when we put our will in line with God.
