Among all the challenging cases the Lord Jesus Christ encountered, the demoniac of Gadara stands out as one of the most distressing. However, after encountering Christ, he was "clothed and in his right mind." What a difference conversion makes.

Just as a heartbeat signifies life on a heart monitor, genuine prayer serves as a hallmark of a true believer. However, Christ makes a clear distinction between those who pray with selfish motives, for the sake of being noticed and those who find a secret place, and obtain real communion with God, in prayer.

The final vision given to Zechariah offers profound encouragement and insight into the eternal decrees of God. Even when the church appears weak, we are reminded that God is sovereign.

Prayer isn't about coaxing God into action; it's ab

Paul looked back on his old life and could rightly claim that he was the chief of sinners, the worst of all people. Yet, in amazing love, grace and mercy, Christ came to save him and His grace was sufficient.[Note the first 2 minutes of this sermon are missing due to technical issues]

When we first trust in Christ, our attitude to God's law changes. Instead of His law being a burden, it becomes a delight. Rather than restrictive it brings freedom and we delight in it, and meditate upon it. We are now complete in Christ who has kept the law perfectly, and so we now seek to obey His unchanging law out of love for Him and as a witness to the world, commending Chris
