Some Things Never Change

Authority Over Evil Forces
We are nearing the end of our “With Authority” series. Today we look at “Authority Over Evil Forces.” As Christians, we recognize the reality of the demonic, of evil forces, and of things that cannot be seen. There are things that “no one” (Mark 5:3,4) can grasp, let alone have authority over. Mark in particular highlights Jesus’ authority over “demons” and “unclean spirits.” What does this mean for modern day Christians?

Jesus' Authority: How Things Get Done in the Kingdom
Who was the man Jesus of Nazareth? Was he really the Son of God? Why was he rejected and killed? Did he really come back to life? If He's alive today, what does it look like to follow Him? These are the questions burning at the heart of Mark's Gospel. Join us as we explore the answers to these questions and see what it means, perhaps for the first time, to know and follow Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Voluntary Ordination
The central thought here is that of a Christian who does not seek his own interests but rather assumes a “voluntary ordination” of himself to God and to others. A true believer submits himself to authority because he is, first of all, submitted to Christ and then he uses his freedom as a tool to proclaim God’s praise (v. 9), an example to others that glorifies God (v. 11) and a means of silencing foolish critics (v. 15).
