Sermons on No Rest For Demons:

If Jesus Isn't In Church You Go Home With Your Demons

Contributed by Aaron Holbrough on Feb 12, 2013

We need to domesticate the word Demon to imply anything that desires to negatively control and influence us. Once we do that, so much of what Jesus does become incredibly applicable to us.

Did you happen to bring a demon to church on Sunday or maybe just sit beside one? Hard to tell isn’t it, Botox is really screwing up my ability to spot them in a crowd. In Luke 4:31 we find Jesus is teaching in a Synagogue, and at some point a man interrupts and an evil spirit speaks to ...read more

When Jesus Came To Church

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2017

Mark records what happened when Jesus came to church. The normal order was interrupted, the people were amazed, the forces of evil were disturbed, and the oppressed were set free. The same thing should happen today when Jesus comes to Church!

A Higher Power

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 30, 2012

Is there a real, personal Satan and a kingdom of evil against which we are in spiritual combat?

Today we are looking at a rather remarkable story of Jesus as he leaves Nazareth and goes to Capernaum. As is his habit, he goes to the synagogue to teach. Again the people are amazed. But Luke tells us that the reason the people are amazed at Capernaum is not because of his gracious words, but ...read more

The Unclean Spirit
