A Teaching With Authority

When Jesus shows up in the synagogue at Capernaum, the crowds notice something different about him, that he teaches "as one having authority, not like the scribes," the professional religious class. So what about Jesus' kind of authority--his connection to the Author, not just an institution--makes it so different and so powerful that it can cast out demons... and where can we get some? Because inhuman (if not supernatural) demonic forces are very much alive and unwell in our world today. (Mark 1:21-28)Join us Sundays for worship, LIVE! on-site and online via Zoom @ 10am ET.
