In Mark 5:9-10 we see the compounding power of evil. When evil invades our lives, it spreads aggressively, reproduces quickly, and thoroughly corrupts our identity. Only Jesus can separate us from our sin, and the layers of destruction it brings to our lives. He replaces compounding evil, with compounding freedom.

Fear is a constant threat for every person. When we embrace a proper fear of Jesus, we see that he can set us free from all the smaller fears that hold us captive.

Mark 5:2-5 teaches us about the unmanageable nature of sin. Jesus shows up in our life to defeat in us what we can never defeat on our own. Through his power we are able to experience true freedom and do not have to settle for a frustrating life of sin management.

In Mark 5 Jesus goes to an unexpected place to bring freedom to an unlikely man. As we walk through this story, we’re learning that Jesus wants to unchain us from everything that holds us back. In this message we learn that Jesus invades the hard places in our lives to bring us freedom!

When we take our place in God's kingdom, He gives us the privilege of sharing the good life we have discovered with others!

When we follow Jesus he interrupts our plans to redirect us to his plan. The more we trust him, the more we are able to embrace interruptions as invitations from Jesus.

When Jesus commands us to use our lives to build His kingdom, it is an invitation to work hard. Thankfully the Holy Spirit is hard at work in us enabling us to work hard!

The Kingdom of God isn’t about what we build, it’s about who we build. God’s kingdom is built in us and around us through relationships! It’s out privilege to love others and introduce them to Jesus, just as someone did for us.

Kingdom builders are passionate people. When we experience the grace of Jesus, our natural response is a life passionately devoted to his kingdom.
