Jesus used a healed demoniac's story to bring transformation to an entire region. What can your personal testimony do when you share how God has worked in your life?
Jesus encountered a man tormented by evil spirits, living isolated and in chains. He had forgotten who he was, responding, “My name is Legion.” Jesus restored him and brought him back to his right mind. What is controlling your life? Do you know that you are not your struggle? Jesus can break the chains that bind you. Themes: Addiction, control, breaking free, identity.
AUG 3 | IV The Power of the King | Mark 5:1-20They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name don't torture me!” For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

Connor and Nick dig into the story of the demoniac in Luke 8 and draw surprising connections to the legend of St. Christopher. A conversation about transformation, identity, and what it means to carry Christ.
In Mark 5 we see Jesus heals a demon-possessed man but it results in the pigs, a great resource for the town, being drowned. This causes the people to reject Jesus.In this passage we see Jesus confirm His identity, reveal His authority but the question remains: How will we respond?
Jesus heals a man possessed by demons (Luke 8:26-39).The healing begins with the naming of the demons. Naming demons has the power to begin the freedom from them. This is especially true when we name them ourselves.Yet...The disciples never learned the name of the man; they simply referred to him as the demon possessed man. A reminder that we can demonize other people, ignoring their name and identifying them by their demons, their trauma, their sins and all the ways we don't like them. This demonizing people is always the first step away from peace and reconciliation. On the other side, learning someone's name is the first step toward peace.In Baptism, we discover the power of Jesus both to give us the name that drives away the power of evil, but also the name that gives us back our humanity: beloved child of God.
Luke 8:26-39 • The 2nd Sunday after Pentecost
In this episode of Sermon Brainwave, hosts Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Rolf Jacobson discuss the lectionary texts for the second Sunday after Pentecost, focusing on the Gospel of Luke, the Old Testament readings from Isaiah and First Kings, and the epistle from Galatians. They explore themes of identity, transformation, and the implications of Jesus' ministry, particularly in relation to the demoniac and the prophetic voice of Elijah. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these texts in their historical and cultural contexts, as well as their relevance for contemporary preaching.

Jesus And The Demoniac (Matthew 8:28-34)

This week, we'll explore a miracle Jesus went out of His way to perform—calming a storm and freeing a man trapped in darkness. It's a reminder that God doesn't just respond to need; He pursues the one who feels beyond hope. As Easter approaches, who in your life needs that same rescue—and will you be the one to invite them?
In this account from the Gospel of Mark Jesus shows his compassion and demonstrates his power and authority. Pastor Mike Karns continues his expositional series in Mark.
