In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony delve into the topic of demons and spiritual warfare, exploring what the Bible teaches about these spiritual entities and their activity in the world. The conversation begins with an examination of Job 1, where Satan appears in the heavenly court to accuse Job, demonstrating how God's sovereignty encompasses even the actions of the devil and his demons. The discussion emphasizes that while demons are real and dangerous, they operate under the ultimate authority of God, who uses even their actions to fulfill His purposes. The hosts also discuss the role of Christ's death and resurrection in fundamentally altering the influence and power of Satan and his demons. Drawing from Revelation 20, they explain how Christ's victory has “bound” Satan, limiting his ability to deceive the nations and opening the way for the Gospel to spread to all people. This pivotal event in redemptive history marks a shift in the spiritual realm, giving Christians the confidence to stand firm against spiritual opposition, knowing that the ultimate victory has already been won in Christ. Additionally, Jesse and Tony reflect on various Biblical accounts of demonic activity, such as the demoniac at Gennesaret and the failed exorcism by the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19. These stories highlight the power of Jesus' name, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the dangers of invoking Christ's authority without true faith. The episode concludes with a call to Christians to prepare for spiritual battles through Scripture, prayer, and reliance on the power of Christ. Key Points: The Sovereignty of God Over Demons: The story of Job reveals that even Satan's actions are under God's control, serving His divine purposes. The Binding of Satan: Revelation 20 teaches that Christ's death and resurrection have limited Satan's ability to deceive the nations, enabling the spread of the Gospel. Biblical Accounts of Demonic Activity: Stories like the demoniac at Gennesaret and the seven sons of Sceva illustrate the power and authority of Christ over demons. Practical Lessons for Christians: Believers are called to stand firm in faith, armed with Scripture, and confident in Christ's ultimate victory over evil forces. Questions for Reflection: How does Job 1 demonstrate God's sovereignty over Satan and his actions? What does Revelation 20 teach us about the impact of Christ's resurrection on Satan's power? Why is it important for Christians to rely on true faith and not superficial invocations of Jesus' name in spiritual battles? How can Biblical accounts of demonic activity help us better understand the nature of spiritual warfare today? What practical steps can Christians take to prepare for spiritual opposition?

Luke 20:27-47 | JD Summers God's Word bears the authority of God himself. In Scripture we see ultimate truth that contains the good news of the gospel, but this good news challenges our own assumptions. Without Christ, our own understanding of ourselves, of the world, and of God are faulty, and we must forego our own misconceptions and instead align ourselves with the truth of Scripture. What will you do when Scripture challenges you? Will you harden your heart and reject it, or humbly embrace the living Word which is able to lead you to salvation?
Sermon series: Luke 7-9: Trusting the SaviourThe story of the demon-possessed man is well-known to many yet it can often feel far removed from modern readers. While demon possession is a central feature, the story is really about how Jesus' compassion and authority meet the oppressed and needy. This story challenges us then to consider how we would respond in light of this.Preacher: Chua Si YangDate: 23 February 2025

After showing the Pharisees the true meaning of sabbath resulting in their further hatred (2:23–3:6), Jesus withdraws to the Sea of Galilee where multitudes came to Him. The multitude pressed in on Him seeking healings so that Jesus appointed twelve delegates (apostles) to learn from Him, preach, and exercise His authority.

Christian nationalists want to install a theocracy and force Christ upon others. They claim Romans 13 as justification for the US government to do whatever it wants through violence and coercion. But that's a misuse of Christ and of Romans 13. Check out this episode of One Question for more!

WE HAVE TO STAND IN THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE AUTHORITY BOTH IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH
A MAJOR theme in the book of Mark is Christ's authority. In Mark, Jesus continuously reveals His authority, begging the question, "does Christ have authority in MY life?" Bev and Delaney discuss Christ's words and actions which reveal His supreme authority. Although Christ's authority isn't always a popular message, it is crucial to understand. Understanding the authority of Christ should be a Christian's comfort, because it mean Christ has permission and control over all areas of life. Thankfully, Mark has a lot to say about Christ's authority, tune in to learn more.
Mark's Gospel begins, not with genealogies or birth narratives, but with Jesus launching his Messianic ministry. It is immediately clear that he has authority over people, over the spiritual realm, and over the physical realm.

And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer me.” 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,' he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?' 32 But shall we say, ‘From man'?”—they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was a prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
