“Some men just want to watch the world burn.” Tune in this episode to learn how Satan and his demons influence the world around us. They are already defeated by Christ, but want to take as many people down with them. // 1. What is the common cultural view of demons? How do people speak of demons? How are demons portrayed in movies? // 2. Read 2 Corinthians 11:14. How is Satan described? Does that sound like a beautiful or hideous appearance? How does this go against how most people think about the devil and demons? How does this make them more dangerous? // 3. What is demon possession? Are all demon “possessions” the same? Why is it better to think about demonic activity as a spectrum of “demonic influence”? Read the following verses and chart them on a line from "More Obvious" to "More Sinister": 1 Thess. 3:5; Matt. 17:14-18; Luke 11:14; 2 Cor. 4:4; Matt. 13:4, 18-19; 1 Cor. 10:20; Luke 4:31-36 // 4. Read Hebrews 2:14. How does remembering that Jesus has already defeated demonic powers strengthen us?
