In uncertain times, we need a faith that is grounded in God and his truth. When life feels out of control, we need regular rhythms that help us walk with God. This is what Rooted is all about! Hope you'll join us as we seek to deepen our connection with God, his church, and your purpose!
Rooted: There Is An Enemy
1 Peter 5:8-11
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” 1 Peter 5:8-9
Satan uses 2 main strategies:
The devil’s main work is DECEPTION. (John 8:44)
“Sin gives the enemy a STRONGHOLD in our lives.” – Rooted
How do we fight against the devil?
“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 5:10-11
