The End of Tyranny by Pastor John Hall

This weekend is Independence Day weekend and it is a fitting weekend for our message in Luke 11 called The End of Tyranny.

Last week, Pastor John asked the question “Have you stopped dreaming Kingdom-size dreams?” It is clear from our passage this week, that the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ has come and the tyranny of Satan is coming to an end. If we asked the question last week, what do you want Christ to do through you?… this week’s question – What does Christ want to do in you?

The end of Satan’s tyranny in the world includes those areas of our lives where we still believe that lie he uttered in the Garden of Eden, that we can be like God. Liberty and freedom in the gospel isn’t the freedom to live as we please. It is freedom from guilt, and shame, from sin and Satan. It is the freedom from the dangerous and debilitating Satanic lie that we are masters of our own lives and destinies.

Here’s the question that we are going to ask this weekend and maybe you can begin to pray about it now: What area of your life have you been unwilling to relinquish to King Jesus? As his Kingdom expands in the world ousted all of Satan’s tyranny, may His kingdom push out any remnant of rebellion and resistance and radical autonomy that remains in my heart and in yours. Let’s pray Thy kingdom come and Thy will be done in me and in you.
