The Third Sunday in Lent

Mar 8, 2026  •  The Rt. Rev Dr. Charles Camlin

This sermon on the Third Sunday in Lent teaches that Jesus came to confront and defeat the powers of evil. The preacher recalls how C. S. Lewis in The Screwtape Letters warned that people either ignore the devil or obsess over him. The gospel shows Jesus casting out a demon and proving His authority over Satan. Christ described Himself as the stronger man who entered the enemy’s house and set captives free. He warned that freedom requires vigilance because evil returns when people leave their lives empty. St. Paul urged believers to walk as children of light after baptism. Christians resist the devil through obedience prayer Scripture and the Eucharist. Lent calls believers to use these gifts so they remain firm in Christ’s victory and grow stronger in faith
