Sermon Scripture: Mark 1:21-28

The Kingdom of Heaven’s authority is undeniable and it is not segregated to certain locations and aspects of our lives. And unlike the authority demonstrated by other power hungry rulers, the stance that Jesus’s authority takes is all together unique. It is so compassionate and focused on the welfare of humanity — you might say it is humanist, for the Kingdom’s concern begins and ends with people; hearts, minds, souls.

In our passage today, Mark draws our attention to two major things Jesus is demonstrating; authority to inspire our minds and authority to bring healing and restoration to our bodies and spirits. Both lead to freedom, healing, and rescue.
