The Gospel of Mark – Demons in the Church?
This week Pastor Pete takes us into Mark 1:21-28 and the encounter Jesus had in the synagogue with a man demon possessed. In this message we will learn how demons distract and disrupt believers in the church, how Christ brings deliverance to His church from demon oppression and even possession and lastly how believers should respond to the work of Christ in His church. Greater is He who is in us than he (Satan and his demons) who are in the world. As believers we have no need to be afraid or intimidated with Satan and his demonic minions. Satan is alive and well doing his utmost to distract and disrupt the influence and power of God even within His church. Beware and be aware of demonic forces even within the church!

The Gospel of Mark – One Tempted in the Wilderness Part Two
This week’s sermon covers the believer’s struggle with sin and temptation and the spiritual arsenal God gives us in His Word and through His Spirit. It is impossible to live the victorious Christian life apart from those two ingredients. Our wrestling against the world, the flesh and the Devil is not with fleshly, temporal means but with the spiritual armor and tools of the Spirit. This is not meant to be an exhaustive study on spiritual warfare but an overview of our options as believers from II Corinthians 10:3-9 and Ephesians 6:10-20.

This message covers the temptation of Christ in the wilderness in Mark 1:12,13 with the parallel accounts in Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13. Pastor Pete covers six practical principles of our Lord’s temptation and our temptations as well. Spiritual warfare is real and Satan and his demons stand ready to see believers fall and fail under a constant flood of temptation. His objective is to ruin the believer whereas God allows the temptations in our lives to build in us character and strength as believers. In this message you will hear: The timing, power source, place, purpose, Tempter, and lastly, the testimony that comes from our temptations. ________________________________________
The Gospel of Mark – One Obedient in the Wilderness
This week’s message on Mark 1:1-11 speaks to the obedience of Christ. Why was it necessary for Jesus Christ to submit Himself to John’s baptism of repentance? Wasn’t Christ perfect, sinless? What then could possibly be the reason for Christ’s insistence on being baptized by John in the wilderness? This was Christ’s first public act that had in attendance all three Persons of the trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This message gives fascinating insight into the mind of Christ and His expectation for each one of us as His followers / disciples.
