C.H. Spurgeon proclaims the victory of Christ over Satan, emphasizing that while Satan remains active, his power has been significantly diminished by Christ's redemptive work. Spurgeon highlights that Christ's death and resurrection have broken the chains of sin and death, transforming the world into a stage for God's grace and mercy. He reassures believers that death has lost its sting and that all who belong to Christ will rise again, celebrating the ultimate defeat of Satan. The sermon calls for gratitude and praise for the Savior who has triumphed over evil and assures us of our future resurrection.

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the reality of spiritual conflict in his sermon 'The Conflict,' drawing from 1 John 4:4 to illustrate that believers have overcome evil through the power of God within them. He outlines six adversaries that Christians face: the devil, false spirits, false prophets and antichrists, false brethren, the world, and the power of sin. Simpson warns that while the light of God shines brightly, shadows of evil persist, and believers must be vigilant against deception and temptation. He encourages the congregation to rely on God's strength to navigate these challenges and to remember that victory is assured through Christ's sacrifice. The sermon concludes with a call to recognize and combat the subtle influences of sin and the world.
