    Just as Mario has been struggling with his English, and I have struggled with my Spanish, my guess is that many of you are struggling with learning another language. It’s called the language of evangelism.

    Becoming Y2F Compliant As you may know, Beth and I spent the last three years in Mexico City working as church planters. My primary activity was to offer English classes to business people. I taught for a computer company called Silicon Graphics, and also held classes at Pepsi Cola. One day, in ...read more

    There is no sin that is too big for God’s forgiveness.

    The story of the Geresene Demoniac. This story gives me chills. There is so much meaning beyond the words written on the page. There are so many questions to be asked. Jesus enters a town that is obviously not filled with Jews. The first question to be asked is, Are they Gentiles or Heathens. We ...read more

    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

    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.

    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.

     | 8,765 views

    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.

    June,2007 Fears that Keep Us from His Presence Luke 8:26-39 INTRODUCTION: Jesus did many miracles when He lived on earth. 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

    This man who possessed devils, and whom Jesus healed, seems to tell us the striking need of our time. For indeed, we live in a sin maddened world. As, times have changed; customs have changed, people have changed. Everyone seems to be tense "up tight." Th

    How addiction is very closely related to possession, and how Jesus can set us free.

    Jesus has the power to overcome any obstacle for people to come to Him and to be in His family. Therefore we should trust His power and be pro-active in sharing the Gospel.

    Message Luke 8:26-39 “Madman Turned Missionary” I think you will agree that this is not the most effective way to be an evangelist. So, what does it mean to be mission minded?
