Jesus said that the thief doesn’t come except to steal, kill, and destroy. That’s an apt description of Satan’s tactics towards God’s people. He patiently works on bringing us down until we are ineffective, discouraged, and removed from being a threat to his kingdom of darkness. Pastor Jeff Johnson says though the enemy tries to sift us, Jesus is praying for us, and He has won the battle for the believer. It is a real battle and Jesus allows us to engage in this battle in His might and His leading. So, join us for the next few moments in 1 Thessalonians 2 as we resume our study titled, “Never, Never, Never Give Up” for our time in Sound Doctrine.
