Kingdom Authority - E4

What happens when the authority of Jesus confronts both the storm outside and the storm within? In this episode of Kingdom Authority, Pastor Michael Lowenberg opens up Matthew 8:23–34, where Jesus stills a violent storm and drives out a legion of demons. These aren’t gentle, heartwarming stories—they are unsettling accounts that force us to wrestle with the sheer scope of Christ’s power. The winds, the waves, and even the spiritual forces of darkness submit to Him. The question is, will we? The disciples respond with awe, drawing closer to Jesus in wonder. But the townspeople—faced with the same authority—push Him away. In this message, Pastor Michael challenges us to consider how we respond when Jesus’ authority reaches into places we’d rather keep under our control. Do we pull Him closer, or do we plead with Him to leave?
