    The death and resurrection of Jesus brought complete victory over sin, sickness and satan.

    Introduction Imagine that Jesus died but did not rise from the dead? If He died but there is no resurrection, then there will be no ascension. If there is no ascension, there is no Pentecost. If there is no Pentecost, there is no power. Christianity will be a religion without power. Christianity ...read more

    The person who really wants to do something finds a way, all others an excuse. Not so with the the encounter of Jesus with the sad soul who lived in the tombs. Let’s examine it together!

    INTRODUCTION Mark 5 has been appropriately called the Bible home for the incurables. Three cases, absolutely, humanly speaking, incurable. The demonic man, The diseased woman and The dead girl.
