Get Behind Me, Satan

What is the work of the devil? What are his twisted purposes for the world? Scripture tells us that he has been sinning since the beginning, and he seeks to murder and destroy. So why would Jesus rebuke Peter and call him Satan? Could we, too, Christ's disciples unwittingly join Satan in his purposes for the world? Join us for a Lenten sermon that calls us to deny ourselves, take up our crosses, join Christ in his sufferings, and die with Him.
