Luke 4:31-41 - What Authority Really Looks Like

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 12, 2024

The authority of Jesus teaching caused the demons to reveal themselves in protest. The authority of Jesus' command causes sickness to immediately cease. How does that same authority operate in the lives of believers today?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 8, 2019

Contributed by Scott Johnson on May 16, 2008

Are You Ready?
