The Gospel of Mark: Surveying the Son of God (Mark 5: 1-20)TheHillChurch
Pastor Jimmy taught out of Mark 5 verses 1-20 this week, showing the importance realizing that although satan seeks to bind and destroy us, Jesus possesses the power to deliver and transform!
People will say, "why does God even allow us to disobey him in the first place? Wouldn’t the world be so much better if he didn’t?" But at the same time, it is an opportunity for him to show His redemptive power, which is more than He could have done if we never needed to be rescued in the first place.
Message series awakening - part 1 - awakening to longing - pastor chuck ber...LifePointe Church
This message is Part 1 in the message series “AWAKENING” by Pastor Chuck Bernal. In this message titled, “Awakening To Longing”, Pastor Chuck talks the emptiness we feel in our lives and how we looks to pleasure, possessions and people - but they can never bring ultimate satisfaction because they are temporary in nature. Using the stories of Solomon and the Prodigal Son, he discusses the fact that each of us has a "God-shaped" hole which only God can fill - and that is where we will find our ultimate satisfaction and meaning in life.
