1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 Joy part 2

In our continued look at what the Church is supposed to be, we discovered that the Church is supposed to be a people of joy.  But our joy is affected by what we believe.  In part one of this sermon, we discovered that what we believe about time and space impacts our joy.  In this message, we learn that what we believe about our enemy, Satan, impacts our joy.  We learn three truths here about Satan; he is active in this world, we have to discern between the work of Satan and the work of God, and we do not have power over Satan apart from God.
