Exercising And Exorcising
Contributed on Jan 8, 2025
In this passage, we see two blind men who had to "exercise" their faith to receive their sight. However, we see another kind of exercise in this passage; or rather, “exorcise,” as Jesus exorcised a demon from a man who was mute.
You have probably heard someone say before that we need to “exercise” our faith. In Hebrews chapter 12, we read, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1b-2a). Jesus is both the author and finisher. He is ...read more

Navigating The Ebb And Flow
Contributed on Dec 24, 2024
Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.
I have entitled our message this morning, “Navigating the Ebb and Flow.” The expression “ebb and flow” is an idiom used to describe periods of highs and lows, and growth and decline, just like the rising and falling of the tides. It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more

He would say, ‘You have to go over the globe and prove to me that you can identify your country.’ ...read more

Sins Forgiven, Health Restored
Contributed on Oct 16, 2024
This message looks at how Jesus healed a paralytic, and discusses the connection between sin and illness, and forgiveness and healing. God desires for your whole spirit, soul, and body to be healed (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
I would like to begin our message this morning with a true story about a woman’s healing. A pastor named John Wimber says, “A woman in her late forties asked me to pray for her healing. She suffered from chronic stomach disorders and arthritis . . . I asked her if she was feeling hostility, ...read more

The Demons Will Flee
Contributed on Oct 4, 2024
This message looks at two "demon-possessed" men, discusses the translation "demonized," and provides a spiritual application on how to recognize the devil's activity, overcome Satan's attacks, and find deliverance.
I want to get us started with some observations and an illustration by Neil T. Anderson, the president of Freedom in Christ Ministries. He says, “Psychologists and psychiatrists routinely see patients who are hearing voices: chemical imbalance is the standard diagnosis . . . But how can a chemical ...read more
