    Don't Be Afraid - Only Believe Series

    Does Jesus have authority over the difficulties in your life? What if God doesn’t seem to answer your prayers on time, do you still trust Him? In this study we see Jesus take authority over the powers of darkness and death itself.

    The last half of Luke 8 gives us two incredible stories of Jesus combating the forces allied against humanity - the hosts of darkness under the control of Satan, and darkness itself: death. Just before this episode, Luke records for us Jesus’ control over the elements as He calmed the wind storm ...read more

    Where Is Your Faith?

    The encounter in the storm tells us we need to (1) put our trust in God; (2) do not let fear paralyze us, and (3) faith comes from knowing the Word of God.

    Jesus asked, “Where is your faith?” I believe this is the same question the Lord would like to ask us today. Where is your faith? Where or what do you put your trust in? In yourself – your own wisdom and strength? Your career? Your family? No human being can live without faith in someone or ...read more

    1. Evil is real. 2. Jesus sought after radically evil people. 3. A radical conversion is necessary and available.

    Confronting Evil Luke 8:26-39 This powerful story of Jesus confronting evil is fascinating. If we had started the Scripture reading earlier in the chapter you would understand that Jesus and the disciples have just survived a terrible storm in a small fishing boat. The storm was blowing them ...read more

    This sermon deals with the healing of the Gadarene demoniac.

    6They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28When he saw Jesus, he cried out and ...read more

    Which is more disturbing -- holiness and righteousness, or immorality?

    Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left. When I was in high school, there was a local legend about the ...read more

    How the Gadarene is a lot like our teens today; looks at the ways people in the community treated him, how he treated himself and how Jesus treated him.

    The Missing Teen: How the Gadarene Was Like A Teen Luke 8:26-39; Mark 5:1-20; Matthew 8:28f The People Didn’t Like: 1. The way he dressed (for a long time, he didn’t where clothes) 2.

    I do personally believe that the greatest thing that holds people back from following Jesus, and that so often holds us back from truly giving ourselves to Him, is fear.

    Those of you who tune in regularly to my online forum will know that there’s been a lot of discussion lately about Christopher Hitchens’ new book, "God is Not Great - how religion poisons everything". The publishers, Allen and Unwin, had sent me a review copy that I passed on to someone else on ...read more

    What can we learn from the maniac of Gadara? We can learn about the depth of sin, the destination of all those involved in sin and we can learn of the Deliverer.

    The Answer The world has got some problems. OK, the world has got a lot of problems. Many men and women today seem to feel that they have the answer to those problems.

    When Your Life Gets Interrupted

     | 8,496 views

    When your life gets interrupted, each day our lives face unexpected things that happen, how you can turn those things around for God’s glory and learn to live in victory !

    Life’s interruptions are those times in life when things just don’t seem to go the way we had planned. Interruptions can either make us or break us. We can learn from life’s experiences, or we can become resentful and close ourselves off to all that God has for us. For example, in the Old ...read more

    What fears cause us to back away from the Presence of the Lord? Fear that He will require more than you are willing to give? We can probably relate to some of the same fears that these people did many years earlier.

One of those miracles involved the deliverance of a demon-possessed man who had been living among the tombs for a long time. He was so out of control that he could no ...read more
