Fighting The Lies Of The Devil With The Truth Of God - Tawfiq Cotman-El

This sermon presents a sobering yet hopeful call to spiritual warfare, emphasizing that believers are engaged in a relentless battle against the devil, who operates through deception and lies. Central to the message is the truth that the enemy, described as a liar and the father of lies, attacks through four primary deceptions: distorting the nature of God, minimizing the seriousness of sin, undermining the unity of the church, and discouraging personal repentance by fostering guilt and delay. The preacher underscores that the only effective defense is the unyielding truth of Scripture, exemplified by Christ's victory over temptation through the Word. By confronting each lie with divine truth—such as God's faithfulness, the eternal cost of sin, the reality of Christian fellowship, and the immediacy of grace—the believer is equipped to resist the enemy's schemes and walk in freedom, faith, and obedience.
