What He Said / What He Did | June 26, 2022

This week, Danny Busch Danny delivered an incredible teaching in our series looking at What Jesus Said and What Jesus Did. The passage we studied was Mark 1:21-34 and the authority of Jesus. Rather than impose His authority over others, Jesus offers something different. Jesus extends an invitation to everyone to accept His authority and live under his rule in the Kingdom of God. The authority Jesus offers gives us hope to believe, hope that in our darkest and most difficult moments, God sees us and is with us. When we accept His authority and when we believe and belong, there is a responsibility given to us to practice the way of Jesus and practice the values of the new kingdom. We are to go and share the good news with others, inviting more people into the kingdom, breaking down the barriers that might be keeping people from belonging in the kingdom. We are to use the authority Jesus gives us the same way we see Him use it, not over creation, but for creation, and for people.
