  • Freedom
  • Love
  • Redemption

Sermon Application

Discussion Questions:

1. Is it difficult for you to believe in spiritual evil - a "domain of darkness"? Why or why not?
2. Which weapon of evil do you encounter the most in your own life - deception, condemnation, or fear? What might it look like to stand in the work God has done for you?
3. How might a person be transferred into Jesus' kingdom? Who does the work? What is required of us?
4. What false-freedoms did Randy highlight? What are some additional false-freedoms on offer in the world today?
5. How might you explain the "deliverance & transfer" truths of the gospel to an unbeliever? What words or concepts could you use that would make it easier to grasp?
