In the message today we learn about being empowered and ready for service in God’s kingdom and in the church. The backdrop for this message is the story of the Gerasene demoniac from Mark 5:1-20. Some Bible translations give the demon possessed man the name “Legion” while others call him “Mob”. For this message we refer to him as “Mob”.
Through Mark 5:1-20, we get a front row seat as Jesus miraculously transforms demon possessed “Mob” into empowered evangelist “Mob” (“Mobe”). This story illustrates how Jesus longs to transform each of us and empower us to serve in His kingdom and to share our own powerful testimony. We also take a look at the things that hold us back such as our past experiences that still affect our thoughts and stop us from progressing on our spiritual journey. We delve into understanding who we are in Christ, identify the barriers blocking our purpose, and discover what hinders us from reaching our full potential as God has planned for us.
