The blessings of home and family are a gift from God. By His Word he heals homes and families broken by sin, and He calls us to share that Word in our homes, whether it’s “Leave It To Beaver” homes, blended families, empty nests, or nursing homes. He gives Fathers a special responsibility and special influence in the home, which should encourage all fathers to be even more active spiritual leaders for their families, knowing that this work really does make a big difference.

We often encounter circumstances that seem absolutely impossible to handle. They seem so weird and out of the ordinary, but have a deep impact on how we live. In situations like this, how do people of faith handle it. As we continue in the Book of Luke, we come across a man who had and extraordinary problem that required an extraordinary solution. We meet the man possessed by a 1000 demons. Listen in as we explore how Jesus handles this situation.

Guest preacher Aaron Halbert speaks on Luke 8:26-39 focusing on where Jesus goes, who Jesus meets, what Jesus does, and how the people react.

During His earthly ministry, Jesus cast out many demons. In today's text, He casts out many demons - from one man. His interaction with a man possessed by a legion of demons is unique in several ways in the biblical account. It is filled with human interested and, most importantly, truth about who Christ is.

Legion Luke 8: 26-39 Rev Keith Morrison

After the holidays do things go back to normal for the Church? No Way!

Doing good means going where the need is. The need might be great, but God is greater.

Poor disciples. It had been a hard, exhausting day, followed by a near-deadly storm at night, plus the emotional drain of having been rebuked by Jesus for having so little faith. And this was supposed to be their trip to rest and recuperate. We don't know if they left the boat and expected to finally rest, or if by this time they were trepidatious about what shoe was going to fall next. If it was the latter, their nervousness would be justified. Naked, dirty and bloody, and screaming like a banshee demon-possessed guy was not the welcome wagon the Decapolis Chamber of Commerce had been going for

The 2nd Sunday after Pentecost / based on Luke 8:26–39 Rev. Anton Lagoutine

After Jesus miraculously calmed the waters on the Sea of Galilee, He and the disciples landed in a Greek region. He was met by a demonic welcoming committee. Jesus set the man free from being possessed by thousands of demons. Does that happen today? The sermon concludes with the true account of a man that prison guards named, The Animal.

Do not get stuck in your success. keep Moving Forward

Gratitude isn't just something we say- such as a quick, automatic 'thank you' at Wal-Mart. It is an attitude of our heart that pours out of us and we can scarecly hold it in.

Jesus is the Name above every name and can break every chain.

Ever wish you could have a “do-over”? Ever find yourself wishing that you could somehow have a second chance? We’ve all had those times when we wish life would give us a mulligan and let us change some things. We’ve all been through days where we longed for the chance to tell a different story with the lives we’ve been given. Throughout Luke’s Gospel, Jesus comes into contact with people from all different walks of life. A Roman Centurion. A woman trapped in sin. A grieving widow. A rich young ruler. Yet, for all their differences, these people had one thing in common. Once they encountered Jesus, He rewrote their stories. He forever changed their lives. He can do the same for us. Jesus is more than willing to offer us a fresh start — a Rewrite to our own personal stories. All we have to do is hand Him the pen. Selected Quotes: Jesus is the restorer. He’s the One who makes everything right. Jesus takes our stories of brokenness and hurt and turns them into stories of healing and wholeness. Sin dehumanizes us. It makes us nothing more than the sum of our desires. It turns us into slaves of our passions. Sin gives the illusion of freedom. It’s only later that it reveals its true nature as slavery. Our mission and ministry start at home. We begin here. We start at the kitchen table. We take the Gospel out into the streets. We share our restored lives with our community.

Jésus, Seigneur de tout -Luc 8:26-39 - Raymond Perron

How can man be helped and healed? The world does it best to help men, but it seems it is not quite enough. Is there anyone that can truly change humanity?

Brad Sullivan St. Mark’s, Bay City June 19, 2016 Proper 7, Year C Luke 8:26-39 “Somewhere to Cast Our Demons” Earlier this week, while beginning my preparation for today’s sermon, I posted the following on Facebook. “We need to stop hunting wild hogs. Without them, we’ll have nowhere to cast our demons. Amen.” There were several comments, some people taking the post very seriously, some rather disgruntled by the theological or huntingological implications. My favorite comments, however, came from my cousin Nicki, who reposted what I had written. In response to one rather disgruntled response, she wrote, “I thought it was funny. Father Bradley Sullivan is my cousin. I know his sense of humor...I used to change his diapers.” Saying we need to stop hunting wild hogs so we’d have a place to put our demons was all I had at the time for a sermon starter, and it gave me a chuckle so I figured I’d share. Then I started thinking that metaphorically speaking, it’s not that bad of an idea…not the wild hogs part, but the idea that we really do need somewhere to cast our demons. When the legion of demons begged Jesus not to cast them into the abyss, it seems that they were speaking of the abyss mentioned in Revelation (bottomless pit from which the demons came). Imagery of the abyss from which the monsters and later demons come goes all the way back to the great deep of Genesis from which fountains of water came forth to drown the earth. Therefore, they abyss is often associated with water, the seas where the great monsters and the Leviathan dwell. So, the demons begged Jesus not to cast them back into the abyss, and it seems that Jesus granted the demons’ request by sending them into the pigs, and then they ended up going into the abyss anyway as the pigs rushed headlong into the lake and were drowned. In the spiritual realm, the demons went back to the abyss. For us, in our world today, our society and our world are like the man amongst the tombs. We are rife with legions of demons: demons of anger, demons of fear, demons of hatred, just to name a few, and we desperately need somewhere to cast our demons. I should say we need somewhere other than each other to cast our demons. In our country, we tend to take our anger, fear, and hatred, and cast it all over each other. Sometimes we cast our demons onto each other through our fearful words and angry rhetoric. Sometimes we cast our demons onto each other through hurtful actions that separate and divide us. Sometimes we cast our demons onto each other with sprays of bullets into unsuspecting nightclub patrons, moviegoers, prayer groups, or elementary school students. As much as the exceedingly vast majority of Americans would never cast their demons onto others by shooting them, there is a connection between our speech, our words and actions, and the bullets that fly. Fear, anger, and hatred lead only to greater fear, anger, and hatred, and eventually to division and killing. As Bishop Doyle wrote in his response to the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub last Sunday in Orlando: The Internet is already full of unchristian, disrespectful, and horrific responses supporting the shooting and demonizing Islam. The reality is that we in this country are responsible for creating a place where hate speech is glorified, unnecessary weapons of mass destruction are freely accessible, and violence is cheered. Yes America, we are reaping what we sow. I too believe we are reaping what we have sown, and I’m not talking about guns. I’m talking about the ways we talk to and about each other and especially how we talk to and about the other. There is so much fear, anger, and hatred constantly being spewed out in conversations on the internet, in coffee shops, on the radio, the TV, even in churches and in our homes. We have been setting an enormous blaze with our talk. As James wrote in James 3:5-10: How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire! 6And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is placed among our members as a world of iniquity; it stains the whole body, sets on fire the cycle of nature, and is itself set on fire by Gehenna. 7For every species of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by the human species, 8but no one can tame the tongue—a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse those who are made in the likeness of God. 10From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this ought not to be so. The blaze we have set with our tongues, with our words both written and spoken, is a blaze of fear, anger, and hatred, and fear, anger, and hatred are our demons. These demons have divided us, made us weak, and turned us against one another. These legions of demons have done to us what Jesus did to the legion of demons that we dwelling in the man. While the demons were together, acting in the man as one, they were strong. No chain could hold him. No people could restrain him. Once Jesus cast the demons into the herd of pigs, they were divided, and they were weak. They rushed headlong into the abyss, the very place where they feared going. As a country, as a church, as the Body of Christ, we have been divided by the legions of demons of fear, anger, and hatred. We have been weakened by our divisions and have been rushing headlong into the abyss. We need to stop casting our fear, anger, and hatred on one another, and we need to find another place to cast them. We need to find a safe place to cast our demons so that they won’t continue to cause greater harm, and the only place we can cast our demons without them harming others is God. One way of casting our demons upon God is prayer, particularly prayers of lament, as I wrote earlier this week. We read in the Psalms prayers of lament, prayers of people who are so fed up, that they are crying out to God, even blaming God for the problems that beset them, asking God to seek vengeance upon their enemies. Some of these prayers make a turn and offer blessings and praise to God; some of them do not and simply end with these prayers of anguished cries, calling for God’s vengeance and questioning God’s justice. We need to bring back the prayer of lament so that we can cast our demons upon God rather than upon each other. It sounds easy, especially for the preacher man to say that we should cast our fear, anger, and hatred upon God rather than each other. I realize that with some of my preaching about loving our enemies, not seeking retaliation, it may seem that I’m rather detached from the violence and hatred in our world. I am not. I fear for my children’s lives. I remember riding my bike a half a mile or more away from home, spending whole days down by the creak behind our neighborhood, totally unsupervised. I can’t imagine my kids doing that nowadays. I’ve come into adulthood in a world in which being shot by a sniper while stopping for gas along a highway is a viable reality for me and my children. I am afraid for my children and the world they are inheriting. I want to protect them. I want to stop anyone who would harm them, and in the moment, if someone was trying to kill them, I have little doubt that I would do everything in my power to stop them, even if it meant killing the killer. I don’t know if that goes against what Jesus taught or not; I simply know it is what I would do. At the same time, I know that the more I dwell on those thoughts and fears, those plans for horrific eventualities, the more the demons of fear, anger, and hatred fill my heart and guide my actions. I know that I can’t with any success rail against the things in this world that I don’t like. All my fearful and angry writing and speech will do is add fuel to the fire, increase the blaze, and cast even more demons upon others already plagued with demons of their own. I’ve done more than enough of that already, as have many of us, or all of us. We need to stop all of the blame and simple solutions for the problems in our world, given as ways to alleviate our fear, anger, and hatred. One easy target has been the government, folks saying the problems started because we took prayer out of schools or removed the 10 Commandments from government building. Before we start blaming governments or states or school districts for removing prayer or Christian symbols and practices, we need to look at the potential of logs in our own eyes, remove them, and then lead by example. Saying, “the problem is that they took prayer out of our schools,” is simply casting a demon of blame upon the world. Such a statement makes someone else to blame, and makes the problem someone else’s to solve. The problems of casting our demons upon others is a problem that is all of ours to solve. Render to God what is God’s. Give the demons of blame to God. Pray to him your blame of someone else. Or even blame God and pray that to him. God can take it. God would probably appreciate the honesty. God is the appropriate place to cast our demons, because unlike everything in all creation, our demons can’t hurt God. Render unto God what is God’s to deal with. Render unto God our demons of fear, anger, and hatred, so that he can cast them out. Like the woman last week who came to Jesus full of sin, weeping upon his feet, we need to come to Jesus full of demons and then weep them out at his feet. When we weep our demons out at Jesus’ feet, we will likely feel powerless. With that, we find yet one more demon with which we struggle: our powerlessness. We want solutions to the problems in our world and we are mostly powerless to make those solutions happen. So we rant, we criticize, demonize, we divide. Divided, we rush headlong into the abyss. We weren’t made for division. We were made to be unified in Jesus. Unity does not mean unanimity. With all of our difference, we were all baptized into the one body of Jesus Christ. “All baptized people are called to make Christ known as Savior and Lord, and to share in the renewing of his world.” (BCP p. 531 - Ordination: Priest) We were not made to share our anger for the destruction of this world. We were made to share our faith for the renewing of this world We certainly need to share our fears, our anger, and even our hate with others, but for the purpose of seeking help in bringing those demons to God. We are meant to help each other cast our demons out upon God. As baptized disciples of Jesus, we are meant to do for each other what Jesus did for the man suffering from a legion of demons. We are meant to help each other find a herd of wild hogs and help each other cast our demons there. I realized just likened God to a herd of wild hogs, and I probably just secured 10 more years in purgatory for it, but the analogy holds true. We need a place to cast our demons, and that place is God, and we need to act as Jesus for each other, helping each other to cast our demons upon God, rather than upon each other. Rather than remaining divided, rushing into the abyss ourselves, we cast our demons upon God so that they will run into the abyss, and we will remain united in Jesus. Amen.

Pastor Neil discusses the deliverance of the demon-possessed man in the eighth chapter of Luke, illustrating that God's power often manifests itself in the changing of hearts and lives. He asks each of us to consider how we will respond to evidence of His power: will we try to hold on to the status quo? or will we embrace the power of God, therein finding our purpose?

You have a story to tell. You have been given authorization to tell it. If you will, you will see lives changed. Your story of grace is sensational.

Our response to things that make us uncomfortable is to push them to the margins. Jesus’ response is to embrace, heal, and invite us to join him. Thoughts for the week: Are there people or things in your life that you keep at arm’s length because they make you uncomfortable? What would it mean to let Jesus in to heal those things?

The Gerasene Demoniac had a legion of demons in him, and he begged Jesus not to heal him because the demons were hurting him as they were leaving. Jesus didn't force the man to be healed, unlike the demons who forced the man to do what they wanted. The man could then trust Jesus.
