About this sermon
If the Apostle Paul was empowered by God… how could Satan possibly hinder him? In 1 Thessalonians 2:18, Paul says something surprising: “Satan hindered us.” That raises a serious question...if Satan could hinder Paul and the apostles, what does that mean for us today? Today, we have Dr. Clint Arnold, one of the leading scholars on the New Testament and spiritual warfare, to unpack this fascinating and often overlooked passage. This is part 12 of our "Difficult Passage" Sunday series.
