Sunday Morning Series - Boundaries - What Happens When Evil Steps Over the Line?


Text:  Luke 8:26-39 & Mark 5:1-20

When a neighbor or stranger comes on your property and begins using your shed to store his possessions without your permission, you don't just sit back and allow it. You either confront him or call the police. That neighbor has crossed a boundary. Yet, when the enemy crosses our borders with all manner of evil we don't take action.

Why?

When my wife and I were first married, we had some differences. One of them involved salt and pepper shakers. I grew up with the salt in the shaker with the most holes, while hers was the opposite. The first time I went to put salt on my food, out came pepper. What??? I didn't see the difference. Sometimes we have trouble telling the difference between good and evil.

In these passages, Jesus gets out of the boat and is greeted by a man with an unclean spirit. Mark uses the word, "immediately." He uses it throughout his gospel 40 times. That's a lot for a small book.

Luke 8:30 tells us there was a legion of demons in this man. A legion in the Roman army was about 6,000 men. That's a lot of demons. We don't see any other example of that number in scripture (other than this particular story). The demons were afraid Jesus would judge them, that they'd overstepped their boundaries, and would send them into the abyss. Jesus gave them permission to enter a herd of pigs.

Now, Jews weren't supposed to keep pigs. They were unclean animals, but the profit they brought was probably an attraction. Maybe they had others take care of them.They were upset when their pigs ran off a cliff and died. It's like the drug dealer that says he sells the stuff but doesn't take it himself. Helping others sin makes one as guilty as the person who actually does it.

Just think, this man had been screaming, running around naked, breaking any chains put on him, for a long time. He was a menace to society. Yet, when Jesus freed him and the man sat clothed and in his right mind, the people were afraid of Jesus!

Sunday Morning Series - Boundaries - Beyond

Text:  2 Thessalonians 2:1-3:6

The Thessalonians were enduring severe persecution at the time of this writing. Someone had sent word or a letter that Paul changed his mind and now thought they were in the Great Tribulation. (The Day of the Lord is another word for the Great Tribulation.)

Paul writes this letter to them to correct their thinking. When the enemy wants to get us, he sows thoughts:

1.  These are based on what has or is happening.
2.  Or what we anticipate happening from what we are told or can imagine.
3.  Often, reports are twisted to lead one to an obvious conclusion.

Our enemy's work is often made easier by our tendency to believe a bad report. We seem to more readily believe bad reports than good reports.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 - Paul tells them, "Let no one deceive you by any means for that day will not come unless..." This doctrine or teaching has boundaries. The passage also talks about the falling away. There are two uses of the word, "apostasia," in the New Testament. When combined with a definitive article (the), it's talking about a specific event.

Is there going to be a great falling away from the church before the Rapture or does this refer to something else? To hear the full message, we invite you to visit our website and click on the media tab. You can listen online, download it to your MP3 player, or podcast.

If you're visiting in the area or desiring a closer walk with the Lord, we invite you to our Sunday Morning Service at 10:00 AM. Zoe Christian Fellowship is located at 1111 Easton Rd. (Route 611), in Warrington, PA. We look forward to meeting you!

Sunday Morning Series - Boundaries - Sources



Text:  Matthew 16:1-23

If we allow our focus to move away from Jesus, we'll view and hear spiritual truth in a wrong way. When Jesus spoke to the disciples in Matthew 16, warning them to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, they thought he was talking about how they forgot to bring bread. Leaven represented sin.

In Daniel 8:15 & 10:12, Daniel sought to understand what the messenger from God was saying. Do we spend time seeking to understand? Assumptions and presumptions come without much or even any understanding. Great revelation with weak understanding will produce foolish conclusions.

If you're visiting in the area or want a deeper relationship with the Lord, we invite you to our Sunday morning service at 10:00 AM. Zoe Christian Fellowship is located at 1111 Easton Rd. (Route 611), in Warrington, PA. We look forward to meeting you!
