“Benaiah's achievements are enumerated in 2 Samuel 23:20—he killed two champions at Moab and chased the lion in the pit.”
A sermon teaching that Satan roars like a lion to intimidate and seize people’s minds, hearts, possessions, and joy, but Christians can 'roar' back — not by fear or flight but through praise, worship, faith, and positioning themselves in God.
