Teacher: Devynn BrankelRomans 16:20Jesus promised his disciples that we would walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Paul also writes the Romans that they will crush Satan under their feet. This way of thinking and speaking is foreign to most of us, yet it was understood by the early church that the Holy spirit gives us the power to stomp on the Devil. Join us as we seek to understand the Devil’s tactics and learn how to engage with spiritual warfare.

Teacher: Ryan MillerJohn 10:10We’ve talked about the chaotic beasts as creatures, nations, and even people, but Jesus talked about chaos as a personal, spiritual enemy: Satan. Yet he is not afraid of him. Jesus is tempted by the Satan in the wilderness and he does not bend. He walks on water, casts out demons, and transforms agents of the snake into saints. Join us this week as we seek to understand the amazing power of Jesus so that we may put our trust in him.

Teacher: Caleb MartinezJeremiah and EzekielWhen Israel chooses to act like the chaos monster instead of living like the people of God, God brings judgment on them. How? He sends other bigger monsters after them, namely, Babylon and Egypt. The scrolls of Jeremiah and Ezekiel focus on the dragon-like behavior of these three nations––as well as God’s promise to bring about justice for each and every dragon in the end. Join us to contemplate how nations and societies become empires of the beast.

Teacher: Devynn BrankelIsaiah 24:21There is a twin rebellion both of man and heavenly beings. This rebellion is described in scripture as stars rising and falling in a cosmic battle.

Join us this week as we investigate the ways that we fall from grace, and how God deals with our sin.
