Luke 4:31 - 5:11

Gospel of Luke
Gospel of LukeSteve Gregg

In this discussion, Steve Gregg analyzes Luke 4:31 - 5:11, where Jesus went throughout Galilee casting out demons and healing the sick. Gregg counters common modern views that demon possession is merely a superstitious idea and argues that demons are real spiritual beings. He details the story of Jesus healing Simon's mother-in-law and the man possessed by legion demons, and highlights how demons recognize Jesus' authority and fear his power. Gregg emphasizes the importance of following Jesus and adjusting our thinking based on the inspiration of Scripture.
