Sermon Series: "Supernatural"
Sermon Title: "Supernatural Deliverance"
Speaker: Jim Hammond

Q: Why is the world so messed up? Why is life so hard?

Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Revelation 12:9
The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

John 12:31
Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.

John 14:30
I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me,

John 16:11
and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

1 John 3:8
The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.

Mark 3:27
In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man's house.

John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Q: Why doesn't God just destroy the devil and his demons?

Revelation 20:10
And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Q: What is the devil's main strategy?

Q: Why do strong believers still have spiritual battles?

Luke 4:13
When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.

Ephesians 4:26-27
"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.

1 Peter 5:8
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Q: Are you struggling?

James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Gratitude is the Antidote to Anxiety

Gratitude is the Antidote to Anxiety MARCH 30, 2025 WEEK 4 _______________ Philippians 4:4-8 (NIV) > 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. 1. The state of Gratitude and Anxiety cannot coexist in the mind. Psalms 100:4 (NIV) > 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalms 136:1 (NIV) > 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV...

Part 2: Anchored in the Gospel

Verde Valley Christian Church Nov 3 – 10, 2024 Sermon Series: Anchored in Unchanging Truth Sermon Title:"Anchored in the Gospel" Presenter: Jim Hammond 1. The Gospel is POWERFUL Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. Luke 24:45-49 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." 2. We are called to be witnesses, not EXPERTS 1 John 1:1-3 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at...

God's Greater Grace

Doug Freeman James 4:4-10 Focus: God's Grace is greater than the power of sin, the flesh, the world and Satan. I. The Great Spiritual Battle A. The WORLD B. The FLESH C. The DEVIL II. God's GRACE is GREATER. III. Pursuing Peace A. SUBMIT To God B. DRAW NEAR To God C. HUMBLE Yourself before God James 4:4-10 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) 4 You people are not faithful to God! You should know that loving what the world has is the same as hating God. So anyone who wants to be friends with this evil world becomes God’s enemy. 5 Do you think the Scriptures mean nothing? The Scriptures say, “The Spirit God made to live in us wants us only for himself.”[a] 6 But the kindness God shows is greater. As the Scripture says, “God is against the proud, but he is kind to the humble.”[b] 7 So give yourselves to God. Stand against the devil, and he will run away from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. You are sinners, so clean sin out of your lives.[c] You a...
