The sermon presents a sobering yet hopeful theological reflection on the murder of Charlie Kirk, framing it as a moment that reveals the deep hostility between the 'seed of the woman' and the 'seed of the serpent'—a conflict rooted in Genesis 3:15 and sustained by the inherent enmity of the fleshly mind against God, as described in Romans 8:7–8. It argues that human beings are born with minds naturally hostile to God's authority, a condition that explains the capacity for extreme evil throughout history, from Canaanite child sacrifice to Auschwitz and modern abortion practices, emphasizing that no limit exists to human depravity when unbridled by divine restraint. While acknowledging the reality of common grace—civil government, conscience, and moral law—this grace is not guaranteed, and God may ultimately 'give over' individuals or nations to a depraved mind, as warned in Romans 1. The message calls for a 'believing response' that rejects bewilderment, embraces righteous anger as a God-given emotion, and trusts in the redemptive power of Christ, who turned enemies into friends, even as it affirms the reality of Satan's active, supernatural opposition to God's purposes. executive_summary
