Kingdom Purity: God and Caesar
Luke 20:19-26 In the second of 4 controversies, the leaders of Jerusalem try to trap Jesus in the area of politics. Do you think God's people should support a pagan ruler and a wicked regime? They think they have put Jesus into corner, but His brilliant answer not only wins the day, but also instructs our hearts as we live for God in the realm of Caesar.

Kingdom Purity: Jesus, Who Are You?
Luke 20:1-19 In Luke 20, Jesus enters into four controversies with the religious elite of Jerusalem. Their intent is to find fault in Him, but each time He demonstrates the purity of Kingdom truth. Their questions call into question His personal, political, theological, and Messianic views. But in the end, Jesus stands victorious even as the critics' anger increases. In the end, their only answer for Jesus is death on a cross.

Slow Down
Do we live at breakneck speed, relying on our own power and wondering why we end up running on empty? If we just slow down, we can have a better connection with God, our source of peace. We can also realize God's power and authority and not be robbed of our peace.

Can Christians Have Demons In Them?
Christians can be attacked, tempted, harrassed and oppressed by demons from the outside. But what about the "inside"? Jonathan presents two views - that a Christian CAN be demonised and that they CAN'T be demonised. The Bible provides no definitive answer to the question but Jonathan discusses relevant passages such as 1 Cor 5:17, John 12:31, John 10:28, 2 Cor 12:7, Eph 4:26-27, 1 Cor 3:16, Eph 4:30-31, Rom 6:12-13. General Observations. What about Generational Curses?

The Authority of Jesus
After Jesus' symbolic actions in the Temple, the religious leaders want to know why exactly he thinks he has the authority to put an end to the temple. But when they refuse to answer a question that he poses to them, he in turn refuses to disclose his source of authority. He goes on, however, to tell a parable that reveals his relationship to his Father as the source of his authority. In this parable, we see that the authority of Jesus is absolute, threatening, and marvelous.

Understanding Satan
Satan is limited in power and knowledge. He is not all powerful. He is not all knowing. He can only be in one place at a time. There is no truth in him. He lies about himself. He lies about God's word. He lies about who we are.

The Beginning from the End
On our first official Sunday morning worship service, Adam preaches Matt. 28:16-20. Christ presents His authority over all the earth and His plan for the Church to make disciples from every people group in the world. He demands that people follow Him as His disciples, and then those believers must intentionally go to make other obedient disciples.

Soul Prosperity
We need to live in God’s righteousness, peace and joy on the inside all the time, not just cry out to God for it when we are in a crisis. Our soul is prospering when we are walking in step with Holy Spirit.

What Do I Do Now?
All of us find ourselves in a tough spot that we can't get out of on our own. That's when we need to rely on the God of authority and power. When the nation of Israel was caught between the Red Sea and Pharoah's army with no place to turn, God led them to safety.

Standing in the Gap
Over the next 4 weeks we are going to talk about the call to transform our culture through missional living. "Missional" seems to be the latest "buzz-word" in the evangelical world; it describes a life that is lived "on mission". It is a concept that fits well with Jesus teaching that we are to be agents of change in our world. Jesus used metaphors of salt and light and yeast. Paul called us to be ambassadors. How should Kelowna be different because we were here? To begin this series, we begin by looking at the incredible power God has entrusted to His people, and the expression of that power through our prayers. We have been given authority to bind and loose on earth in the name of Jesus. Do we have any idea of the power given to us? Key Passage: Ezekial 22:30

What Binds You?
Jesus miraculously frees a woman bound by sickness despite the angry and hypocritical opposition of a synagogue official. In loosening her bonds he demonstrates himself to be the glorious one and ensures that there will be a reckoning for hypocrites who place their religiousity over untying people in bondage. What binds you? Are you bound by sin and pain from your past or are you bound the hypocrisy of your present? Hear this message today: Jesus offers freedom.

A New Authority
Mark's first picture of Jesus in ministry is a the story of a powerful ministry confrontation. Jesus comes into a synagogue to teach and the people are amazed at the authority in his words and character. A demon immediately cries out, and again the people marvel at Jesus' authority to silence the demon. What do we do with One with such authority? How are we to respond? Like the disciples, the only right response is to follow.

Respect for Authority
In our culture, we are taught to flee from situations where we are required to submit or subject ourselves to others. But it is Gods message to us through Pauls letter to the Romans that teaches us we are all subject to authority.
