This week’s question: Can a Christian be possessed by a demon?

From Ghostbusters to The Walking Dead, culture has been trying to answer the question of satan, demons, and the apocalypse for ages. How does the demonic realm interact with Christians and non-Christians?

The terminology is important, and Pastor Mark explores this question around these important terms:

  1. Can a Christian be owned by a demon?
  2. Can a Christian be dominated by a demon?
  3. Can a Christian be influenced by a demon?

  • A Zombie Bible Study at a Cemetery – Are zombies real? What does the Bible have to say about zombies?
  • Should Christians Celebrate Halloween? – With much of Halloween’s background in witchcraft and the occult, how should Christians interact with a holiday that it widely celebrated in the United States?
  • Does God Work Through Demons? – The “harmful spirit” that causes Saul such suffering and problems in 1 Samuel 16 is a tough thing to work out because we often don’t think of God as bringing harm. This is because we often associate harm with evil. As such, it’s not within our comprehension to think of a good God bringing harm.
