The Deceiver

Our first portrait for Lent was of Satan, the Deceiver. Scripture references take us back to the very beginning, Genesis, to remind us that Satan is at first a deceiver, one who calls into question God’s ordering of things. Sometimes he is also referred to as the “Author of Upside Down Things”. Why? It was in the garden long ago that he tempted humankind to exchange worship of the Creator with that of the created. But as Romans tells us, through one man’s disobedience came sin, through the obedience of one Man comes righteousness to many. Join us for this teaching as we learn more about the Deceiver-- and, along the way, more about Jesus, too.
