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?

Today we're going to deal with two topics that can be somewhat controversial within the church: the demonic and healing. We're going to dive into the Word of God, lay some proper foundation today, and let's pray first because that's where we need to go. Father, we come before You. ...read more

Jesus' Authority Over Sickness Series

It's Okay To Say No

Contributed by Christopher Lund on Dec 8, 2020

It can be hard to tell people "no", and sometimes we say "yes" when we don't actually mean it. But Jesus shows us how important "no" can be. From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEWRnuMvKY4

I think a lot of us can have a hard time saying "no" to people. We can be afraid that other people will be disappointed, or let down, or maybe not even like us as much anymore. Or we might feel guilty, guilty that someone else might have to help them instead of us, or that nobody will ...read more

Demonic Possession And Jesus Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

Every person who has not experienced conversion is under the power and sway of Satan. Jesus owns Christians; Satan doesn’t own Christians. Satan cannot own the body and mind of a Christian, but he can influence you.

Last week we kicked off the series about examining Jesus’ words, or His teaching. Today, we observe His works, or His deeds. Sit in the synagogue with Jesus. Watch the works of Jesus together with fresh eyes. Come with me and see a day in the life of Jesus: Today’s Scripture And he went down to ...read more

An Invitation To Healing (Bonus Week) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 25, 2022

God gave most of this message to me while I was at work. I took dictation, basically, for 45 minutes, and then tried to fill in gaps without messing it up. Bottom line: God will heal you.

Brothers and sisters, understand today that I am in no way criticizing you, or condemning you, or judging you. I want to help you. There is no more obvious sign of the church's weakness and lack of faith than the chronic sickness and disease found in so many of its members. Even just among ...read more

Who Is Jesus To You? Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Feb 24, 2025

We all face judgments from other people. Jesus faced that too. As He began his earthly ministry, Jesus experienced two completely different responses from two different towns. How will you respond?

People make judgments about us all of the time. It’s not so much that they are judgmental, but that they get to meet us or get to know us based on certain associations. I know, by virtue of the fact that I’m a pastor, when I introduce myself to people, they make an immediate judgment. If they ...read more
