This week’s sermon will be on Mark 1:21-28. In this passage, Jesus, as he’s teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum, is assailed by a demon possessed man.

This, as one commentator noted, would have left quite an impression on those present! D’ya think?
Quite simply, this is crazy stuff. I submit, however, that this world is a crazy world (more…)
