You Have an Enemy | Genesis 3:1 | The Reality of Satan's Deception (Sermon)

You Have an Enemy | Genesis 3:1 | The Reality of Satan's Deception You have an enemy—and he is far more dangerous than most people realize. In this expositional sermon on Genesis 3:1, Pastor Matthew Everhard examines the shocking entrance of Satan into the biblical story. Why does the serpent suddenly appear in the Garden of Eden? Where did Satan come from? What does the Bible actually teach about his fall? And how can Christians recognize and resist his schemes today? Drawing from Genesis 3, along with passages from Luke, Job, Jude, 2 Peter, Ephesians, Revelation, and James, this sermon explores the biblical doctrine of Satan, spiritual warfare, temptation, and God's absolute sovereignty over evil. Topics include: The origin and fall of Satan Why the serpent appears in Genesis 3 Satan's strategies against believers How the devil twists God's Word Spiritual warfare according to Scripture The armor of God (Ephesians 6) God's sovereignty over Satan Why God permitted the Fall How Christ has conquered sin, death, and the devil Even though Christians face a real spiritual enemy, believers have an even greater Savior. Jesus Christ has defeated Satan through His life, death, and resurrection, and every believer can stand firm in His victory.
