"Recognizing the need for sanctified saints to stand against satan's unified kingdom of evil."

Description:
Delivered during the Sunday morning worship service, 7/23/2023. After an extended section on the process of sanctification through the means of grace, and particularly the importance and power of prayer; Luke abruptly changes focus to a confrontation in which Jesus is accused of working His mighty miracles through the power of Beelzebul (or satan). Using pristine logic, Jesus dispels their argument by revealing the unified nature of the devil's kingdom of darkness that until His arrival had held most of the world in its iron grip. But all that is about to change forever, for "the Kingdom of God is upon them!" We will analyze both the logic of Jesus' argument and the profound significance of His proclamation concerning the Kingdom of God-- a glorious blessing to the saints, but an ominous warning to the agents of evil. But as we will see, when the Light of Christ shines in the darkness-- the darkness fights back. Therefore Jesus will need strong, sanctified, and battle-ready saints who are willing and able to stand against the gathering storm!
