Scripture for today's sermon:

Satan and Being a Missionary

Satan is crafty; smarter than us
has power and influence; demons; more powerful than us
Satan is not all-powerful; only God is
Satan is not all-knowing; only God is
Satan is not present everywhere; only God is
Satan cannot make us do anything
Satan cannot possess a believer; he can tempt us
