Citizen- Longing For Home
Mark 12:13-27 A citizen is a person who legally belongs to a country and has the rights and protection of that country.

Spiritual Warfare- Power of Prayer

Luke 4:31-44 “There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them.”-C.S. Lewis, “Screwtape Letters”
