“Choose a Kingdom” - Luke 11:14-26 - Jan 18th, 2026 - Pastor Scotty Brown

From Luke 11:14-26, Jesus exposes the reality of two opposing kingdoms and calls every person to choose where their allegiance lies. As Jesus casts out a demon, religious leaders accuse Him of working by Satan's power, prompting Jesus to reveal the absurdity of a divided kingdom and the certainty that the kingdom of God had come upon them. Pastor Scotty Brown explains that Satan has a real but limited kingdom, while Jesus is the stronger One who overcomes, delivers, and brings true freedom. There is no neutral ground. We either gather with Christ or scatter against Him. This message urges believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit, pursue Christ intentionally, and live as witnesses who bring others from darkness into God's kingdom.
