Sermon text: Mark 1:16-28
Jesus begins building His team, calling ordinary fishermen to follow Him with a mission to become fishers of people. With this move, He shifts from preparation to advancing the kingdom—and immediately, the enemy pushes back. In the synagogue, Jesus confronts spiritual darkness head-on, silencing and casting out a demon with unmatched authority. His teaching astonishes the crowds, and His power reveals that God’s reign has arrived. Rather than retreating in fear, Jesus presses forward. The call to His followers is clear: take up your authority in Christ, stand firm, and advance. The result? The good news spreads like wildfire.
