Sympathy For the Devil?: Part Two
June 18, 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 continue a two-part series titled “Sympathy For The Devil?” We unpack 1 John 3:1-10 (The Message) in today’s message. 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 18, 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.

Welcome to our message series, โRomans: I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel.โ Todayโs message is titled โDon’t Let The Old Self In.โ Pastor Harold will unpack Romans 4:13-25 and help us better understand how illness, aging, work, doubt, guilt, and shame will cause us to believe we must do something to help ensure our righteousness with God. We are also reminded that our spirit (soul) remains young while our body wears out. We may not feel worthy to serve God and love others as we age; our spirit should remain joyful, grateful, and full of love until we take our last breath and close our eyes for the final time. Understanding this truth helps us not fall into the trap of apathy and the abyss of self-pity.
