Facing The Enemy - Part 1 | 1 Thessalonians 2:17 - 3:5 | Pastor Larry Adams

Facing the Enemy (Part 1) | Pastor Larry Adams | 1 Thessalonians 2–3 | Hillside Church

There's a real enemy at work behind the discouragement, the conflict, and the temptation we all face — but he's already been defeated. On Memorial Day weekend (and Pentecost Sunday), Pastor Larry kicks off a new two-part series, "Facing the Enemy," from 1 Thessalonians 2–3. Why did Satan stop the Apostle Paul in his tracks? How did Jesus shut down every temptation in the wilderness? And what does a mountain lion in the Arizona desert have to teach us about standing our ground?

If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of a hard season, this message is for you. You don't have to live afraid — because greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.

📖 "Stay strong and live ready. We will face some battles, but in Jesus, the war is already won."
