    The Power of Good Over Evil
    Mark 5:1-20 The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke all record an encounter Jesus had with a demon-possessed man after disembarking on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee.  The man clearly exhibited the awful affects of evil upon his life.  But by the time Jesus left the area, everything had changed for him.   By casting out the demons, Jesus clearly illustrated his power to overcome evil with good!
    • Evil is that which separates us from ourselves.
    • Evil is that which separates us from others.
    • Evil is that which separates us from God.
    Is there some part of your life that is suffering because of the influence of evil?  Jesus offers you restoration through the power of his goodness!

    The Power of Abundance Over Need
    John 2:1-11 According to the words of Jesus in John 10:10, he came into the world not so his followers could simply get by, but that “they might have life, and have it to the full.”  Our God is a God of abundance!
    • To experience God’s abundance, we need to recognize our need.
    • To experience God’s abundance, we need an awareness of the presence of Jesus Christ.
    • To experience Gods’ abundance, we need to learn obedience to Jesus.
    • To experience God’s abundance, we need to acknowledge the eternal blessings of His grace.

    The Power of Peace Over Chaos
    Mark 4:35-41 When Jesus instructed his disciples to cross the Sea of Galilee in a boat, they  encountered an anxiety-producing squall.  Their hearts were filled with fear and doubt.  But Jesus used the occasion to teach them a lesson of faith, and to demonstrate to them the power of his peace over the chaos of the world.
    • In the presence of Christ, there will still be times of chaos.
    • In the presence of Christ, there may still be moments of doubt.
    • In the presence of Christ, you will discover the power of his peace.

    The Power of Wholeness Over Brokenness
    John 9  One of the most notable things about the earthly ministry of Jesus was his healing ministry.  Every miracle was unique, but they each demonstrated his power to confront brokenness and replace it with wholeness.  In the account of Jesus bringing sight to a man born blind, we can see that more was being accomplished than just physical healing.

    The Power of Truth Over Lies
    We live in a world where people care very little about the truth.  They mistakenly label things they want to hear as truth, and things they don’t want to hear as lies.  But truth and falsehood is not determined by our wants or opinions.  God Himself establishes truth, and has revealed it to us in His Son Jesus Christ.  The Gospel of John helps us understand how the truth of Christ sets us free from the enslavement of the world’s lies.  Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)

    A Time to Celebrate!
    “This day is holy to our Lord.  Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!”  Nehemiah 8:10b  After leading the people of Judah to complete the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls and gates in just 52 days, Nehemiah realized how important it was to celebrate what they had accomplished through God’s strength and guidance.  Joyful celebration is considered by some to be a Spiritual Discipline.  God commands His people to be joyful and to celebrate! Truths to Enhance the Discipline of Celebration:
    • True joy is grounded in true faith.
    • Joy is actually compatible with pain.
    • Learn to celebrate big things and little things.
    • Celebration is best practiced in community.
    • Don’t feel guilty about enjoying the life God has given you.

    Greater Service to Others
    Nehemiah 5 While dealing with opposition from external forces, Nehemiah also found it necessary to deal with internal complaints.  Wealthy lenders within the Jewish community were taking advantage of the poorer citizens, leaving them destitute and hungry.  It became so flagrant that complaints reached all the way to the ears of Nehemiah, who was able to act with wisdom and compassion to remedy the volatile situation. Nehemiah 5:1-6
    • He heard and empathized with those who were hurting. 
    Nehemiah 5:7-13
    • He pondered the matter, confronted the trouble-makers, and set a plan in motion to fix the problem—including a system of accountability.
    Nehemiah 5:14-19
    • He personally set a positive example to be followed.
    Christ always guides us toward greater service to others, especially those who are hurting.
