Sermon in a sentence: Jesus has authority to call the shots.
Jesus Called Out Disciples (vs. 16-20)
Jesus had the authority to call these men to a new occupation.
The disciples showed immediate obedience to Jesus’ command.
We must be careful, quick obedience must also count the cost!
Also, we must be careful when preachers/evangelist/teachers come on the seen and demand that we follow them. This will become a cult and lead to spiritual abuse.
Jesus Called Out Unclean Spirits (vs. 21-28)
He had authority over the synagogue.
We can go to church but that doesn’t mean we are children of God.
If we are not careful, the church can become more about a us than it is about Jesus!
