The Noise Of Distraction | The Devil's Playbook | Week 5

In Week 5 of our series, The Devil’s Playbook, we explore how distraction can quietly pull us away from what matters most. Looking at Luke 10:38–42, the story of Mary and Martha, this message reveals how the enemy often works not through obvious sin, but through busyness, noise, and constant distraction. Martha’s activity wasn’t wrong—it was simply misplaced. When life fills up with endless tasks, notifications, and responsibilities, it becomes easy to confuse motion with mission. But Jesus reminds us that devotion matters more than distraction, and that choosing His presence is always the better portion. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, spiritually distracted, or too busy to slow down and be with God, this message will encourage you to rediscover the power of presence over productivity.

The Trap of Pride | The Devil's Playbook | Week 4

In Week 4 of our series “The Devil’s Playbook,” Pastor Chad Murphy explores the trap of pride and how spiritual overconfidence can quietly lead to a fall. Teaching from Luke 22:31–34, this sermon examines Peter’s denial of Jesus and how Satan “sifts” believers through self-reliance rather than obvious temptation. If you’ve ever felt spiritually strong, self-sufficient, or beyond certain struggles, this message is a warning about pride, humility, and the importance of daily dependence on God. Discover how Christ’s intercession, repentance, and humility protect us from spiritual warfare and restore us after failure.

The Isolation Strategy | The Devil's Playbook | Week 3

This is the third week in our "Devil's Playbook Series" where Pastor Mike is looking at how the devil seeks to isolate us from community. The devil wants lone Christians; Jesus wants a connected family.

The Lure Of The Forbidden | The Devil's Playbook | Week 2

In Week 2 of our “The Devil’s Playbook” series, Pastor Chad Murphy tackles the question, “Is God really good?” by examining Genesis 3:1–7 and the serpent’s temptation of Adam and Eve. This message explores how the devil tempts us by making us question God’s goodness, distort His Word, and believe that sin offers freedom when it actually leads to spiritual slavery. If you’ve ever struggled with doubt, temptation, or wondering whether God is holding out on you, this sermon exposes how spiritual deception works and how grace in Jesus Christ heals misplaced desires. Discover how to resist temptation, recognize Satan’s schemes, and trust in the true goodness of God.

Know Your Enemy | The Devil's Playbook | Week 1

In this weeks message we learn satan’s primary weapon is deception, not destruction. He wins when we stop believing truth. The battle isn’t out there; it’s in here. The enemy plays on our desires more than our fears. To stand firm, you must know God’s truth intimately. Scripture is not for quoting at others but for fortifying ourselves.
