Welcome to Rowheath Pavilion Church!
In both our 9am and 11am services this week, we give a warm welcome to Pastor Mont Mitchell from Westbrook Church in Illinois in the US. Mont is also the International Director of our movement, the Fellowship of Churches of Christ. This Sunday, Mont is journeying with us through Mark and will be speaking from Mark 1:21-28.
When was the last time you felt amazed by something? It’s highly likely you’ll have felt that wow moment, that feeling of awe and wonder. That experience and feeling stays with you, you remember it, it begins to sit with you. That’s what we read in this week’s passage, the crowds being amazed that Jesus drives out an impure spirit. As we explore this further, stop and ask yourself, if you had been present and witnessed what Jesus did, what would your reaction have been? How do you respond to the fact Jesus acts with authority and did such an amazing thing by casting out a demon? How will you let this reality impact your own faith and experience of Jesus? He gives us that same authority today to do exactly what He did then. He came to set the captives free, freedom from anxiety, depression, addiction and ultimately our sin. Have you heard of stories of people being set free? How do you react to that? Would you be amazed if that was your experience here today?
