Summary

The people of Capernaum are amazed at Jesus’ authority in preaching, in healing, and in commanding unclean spirits, or demons. There are two erroneous reactions to the topic of demons: the first is to deny they exist, and the second is to obsess over them. Instead, if we know our enemy and understand his schemes, he cannot easily outwit us. Our life is like a house; for Christians, Satan never owns the house, Jesus does, but Satan can influence and oppress. We must recognize the ways in which we could leave doors and windows to our house open (such as through unrepentant, habitual sin). Through repentance and faith in Jesus because of his death, burial, and resurrection, our allegiance to Satan is canceled, and our freedom in Christ is granted. God’s enemy becomes our enemy and Jesus’ authority becomes our authority.

0:40.2	find it. Here is Luke's gospel. We have seen much of Jesus early ministry in and
0:47.9	around Nazareth. Last week a little earlier in Luke 4 we saw that Jesus was a prophet without honor in his own hometown.
0:56.4	He was kicked out of Nazareth.
0:59.4	Basically people tried to put him to death.
1:02.1	And so this week he relocates his ministry headquarters to a town
1:06.6	called Kepurnum. It's the hometown of Simon Peter. It's in the region of Galilee around
1:11.9	the sea of Galilee and much of Jesus ministry is going to
1:15.5	take place there all the way up until Luke chapter 19 and at that point he will
