In the first snapshot of the ministry of Jesus in the book of Mark, we see our Lord teaching at a synagogue at Capernaum on the Sabbath Day. Jesus spoke with authority from Himself for He is the Living Word. But the words of Jesus not only carried authority but also immense power to enforce His will, as his mere word was enough to rout a demon. In this sermon we see how the words of Jesus ought to shape and inform the church of its role even today.
This sermon was preached by Rev Christopher Poshin David on November 2, 2025, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Chennai.
Series: The Servant King, on the Gospel of Mark
In a world that prizes power, prestige and self-promotion, the Gospel of Mark gives us a portrait of a King who kneels to serve, who rules through sacrifice and who conquers not by the steel of the sword but by his love.
