Sermon: "Self-defense!"
Pastor Kim Wenzel
Who is most vulnerable in our society?
No need for Martial Arts course, but self-defense is good
We DO NOT war to win the victory! Jesus won the Victory on the cross!
Adam and Eve lost the right to rule and have dominion on the earth. They gave it to Satan.
Jesus defeats the devil - has LEGAL right to rule earth.
Jesus Is Tested In The Wilderness
Matthew 4:1-11 1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b]”
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e]”
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
Choose LIGHT, Reject Darkness, Choose LIFE, Reject Death.
