Episode #27 of Entangled Kingdoms is now available!
Through Jesus Christ, God has rescued His people from the dominion of darkness and brought them into the kingdom of His beloved Son. Yet Satan’s defeat does not mean he has stopped deceiving, dividing, and opposing God’s people.
In this episode, we look at:
How Paul describes salvation as rescue from one dominion and entrance into another
His warning about satanic power, counterfeit signs, and end-time deception
Why a supernatural experience is not necessarily evidence of God’s approval
The promise that the God of peace will crush Satan beneath the feet of His people
Satan remains active, but his authority is limited and his end is already determined. How, then, can Christians take his deception seriously without becoming fearful or preoccupied with his power?
Join us as we continue untangling the kingdoms and consider how the gospel teaches us to live with both vigilance and confidence.
