2010-07-18-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning July 18th, 2010 in the 8:30 service.

Scripture: Luke 11:21-23; 4:18-19; Acts 26:18

Topic: Spiritual Warfare

Notes:

- Satan, the strong man, fully armed, guards his dominion; he hates the church who threatens and is commissioned to war against him- We are to preach the gospel to the poor, have compassion towards people.  We mustn’t war among ourselves- Proclaim liberty to captives, set oppressed free...- Go into all the world ( leave church building, enter Satan's house)- Christians rely too much on government... rights as Americans...- American Christianity stresses riches- Story: playing game with daughter... “start all over”... the devil tells people they can’t start over, but Jesus makes it possible- Faith without works is dead; we need a driving compassion for lost- I’m not a believer because somebody proved something to me- What are you doing that validates your faith?  Work, involvement, cost; hope to hopeless, sight to blind, healing to broken hearted
