Snake-handlers in the Pentecostal tradition believe that God will protect them from the venom of a poisonous snake bite. Sadly, not only have many died in the sincere practice of their faith, they have been mistaken as to the real meaning of Christ's words and may put their eternal destiny in jeopardy. We may have one literal example of the fulfillment of Christ's words in the apostle Paul. His response to a snake bite however teaches more than a miraculous survival might suggest. Watch as Pastor MacLaren shows from Acts 28 how God protects his people from Satanic evil through the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This sermon was preached at First Presbyterian Church in Perkasie, PA, on May 24, 21015. First Church is a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The Rev. R. Scott MacLaren is the pastor.
