According to the Apostle John, “the whole world is under the control of the evil one.” In this message, we take a look at some of what the “world” or common culture encourages that is contrary to what Scripture states. How do followers of Christ live without fear and stay strong in the midst of these pressures? The answers are found in knowing our identity as children of God, knowing that Jesus protects us from the evil one and knowing we need the church.
