And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him , and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are…

Scene 1: Demons; let’s not make the mistake of overemphasising their power or discounting their existence, demons are real! From the Garden of Eden in Genesis to Satan’s doom in Revelation, the pages of Scripture are filled with references to evil supernatural beings who oppose God and His purposes.…

2 Timothy 3 Good morning church. We are beginning our service today with a little bit of awesomeness! This morning we get to do, not one, not two, not three, but 4 child dedications to the Lord!

WWJD (What Would Jesus Do)?

Have you ever wanted to write a book? Me neither. Writing books is really hard. Reading books takes a while, I imagine writing one takes a little longer. Now, what’s funny is we’re a church of about 100 people, and we have several authors in our midst! Gene Poppino has helped write a book. Hannah Russell…

Healing Many 14 And when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him. 16 That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and…

This morning we continue with our series: What kind of Man is This ? Last week we asked the question, “What kind of a man speaks to the wind and waves, and they obey Him?” This morning we consider the question, “What kind of man speaks to demons, and they obey Him?” Last Sunday, we left the disciples…

Intro: What is this? Have a few example for someone to guess about: Now we know these things have confidence in this knowledge because we have proven it to be true. Too often in our faith, we do not test to see if it is true, we do not test to see if God’s promises are true. Now, don’t get me wrong there…

Introduction Good morning! Last week - Jesus told us what to do with truth. Hear it - He who has ears, let him hear. Treasure it - for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks he has will be taken away Share it - not under bed or jar, but on a stand ==…

And when he came to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from among the tombs met him, very violent, so that no one was able to pass by along that road. And behold, they cried out, saying, “What do you have to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment…

Palm Sunday Foretold by the Prophets 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!

Men must submit as Demons who know Jesus and His authority.

1 When he came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him. 2 Right away a man with leprosy came up and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” 3 Reaching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying, “I am willing; be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.…

Introduction As we study through the Lord’s Prayer or the Model Prayer, we have seen that Jesus taught this on at least two occasions to His disciples. Recorded once in Luke in response to His disciples’ request, “Lord, teach us to pray,” and the other time is recorded in the Sermon on the Mount which…

We cannot be certain what verse 1 refers to. Tensions of the day made revolution possible at any time. Pontius Pilate did not get along with the Jews- he was insensitive to their religious convictions. He brought official Roman ensigns into Jerusalem and the Jews were angry with Caesar’s image in the…

Revelation 21:9 9 Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” Here, the theme of us being God’s bride is continued with the image of God preparing us as we participate in the…

I believe that God wants us to make a difference in our families, our work places and our world. How does he want to do that? He wants us to be his witnesses. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem,…
