Second Sunday in Pentecost 2021
Jun 6, 2021 • Pastor Paul F. Becker • Mark 3:23–27
Jesus’ answer to those who fail to grasp the glorious Good News of His ministry reveals not only His perfect understanding of the nature of the enemy but also His absolute power and control over the evil one.
1.Those who fail to grasp the glorious Good News of Jesus’ ministry
a.Kingdom priorities don’t mesh well with those of the world
b.When all else fails, resort to ad hominem attacks
2.The empire of evil is NOT a kingdom divided
a.Agents of evil are united by fear and force
b.Many points of attack but only one goal
3.Jesus binds the strong man and plunders his house
a.Whenever the Truth is spoken in Love
b.Wherever the devil is resisted, he will flee
