  1. 2 Corinthians 11:14 (NKJV) 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

  2. Unmasked • UNMASKED (un-masked) v. To reveal the true nature or identity of somebody or something; expose. • YES Weekend 2014 is dedicated to revealing sin for what it really is. • Tonight we are going to look at some of the different types of masks that people wear.

  3. The Mask of Dishonesty • False impressions meant to deceive. (Genesis 12, 20) • Self- righteousness (Matthew 23:27-28) • Doctrines of men. (Romans 1:25) • Self-deception. (Galatian 6:3)

  4. The Mask of Materialism • I Timothy 6:10 • What is materialism? • Kicking God off the throne and placing something else there. • The secular view of success: Money = Power • The Biblical view of success: To bring glory and honor to God.

  5. The Mask of Hypocrisy • Matthew 23 • The Pharisees appeared religious outwardly, but underneath the mask was hypocrisy and rottenness. • They had two great sins: 1. Holding others to a different standard. 2. Their righteous was only external.

  6. The Mask of Immorality • How you present yourself sends a message. Immorality comes with consequence. • Lessons from Genesis 38: 1. Modesty Matters 2. Sexual immorality is sinful. 3. Sin comes with consequences.

  7. The Mask of Prejudice • Galatians 2:11-14 • Prejudice and discrimination is still alive and well, and the only way to defeat it is to expose and replace it with love and equality. • Galatians 3:28 • If our speech says one thing, but our actions say another, are we any better than what Peter did to the Gentiles?

  8. The Mask of Silence • Christians are living in an ever increasing, sinful tolerant society, and its pastime we stop hiding our faith and take a stand against the evils in our time. • How does something as horrible as the holocaust ever happen? 6 million • A similar holocaust almost happened roughly 2,300 years earlier, but it stopped because one person decided not to remain silent. (Esther 3:1-4:14)

  9. The Mask of Disguise • Super Heroes • II Corinthians 11- Satan will never show his real face. Satan will appear in whatever form you want him. He is a liar, murderer, deceiver, roaring lion, and even appears as an angel of light. • When Satan considers God’s people, he notices all the objects of our affections. • Along with the temptation, Satan will provide a way to take advantage of that temptation.

  10. The Mask of Disguise • He will mask this opportunity as pleasurable, enjoyable, and desirable. • Both God and Satan are pulling for you, but you cast the final vote. • The good news is that you can withstand the devil. • The Bible tells us about the times some of our heroes gave into temptation, but also tells of their triumphs! • Life is too short and eternity is too long to be fooled by Satan in a mask.
