    Which Jesus do you want to meet – gentle and riding on a donkey, or carrying a sword and riding on a white horse?

    This sermon is meant to help us evaluate how we worship and to warn us to avoid Satan’s influence even at church.

    Every time Jesus met someone demon-possessed He kicked the demons out! This case is unusual because of where it took place - in the very house of God! Why in the world would a man possessed by demons even be interested in going to the house of God? Why would the devil want to go to church? 1. ...read more

    based on 71 ratings
     | 5,509 views

    I want to spend a few minutes tonight looking at this verse, even dissecting it a little bit, to bring it into an applicable understanding for all of us. Because when we read words like “preach,” and we do not have a life calling to stand in a pulpit like myself, we can sometimes shrink back ...read more
