Do you believe? James tells us that even the devils believe and tremble. Satan knows the truth about God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, but his is only a cognitive belief. Saving faith is a heart and soul belief that trusts Christ’s finished work on the cross, one that surrenders to Him as Lord and Savior. As Bro.

The contrast between the world’s perception of greatness and God’s view of greatness is clear in the passage of scripture that is the focus this message.
