These sermons and bible studies are recorded live and edited, though not professionally.
They are presented “as is” in the hopes that they can build up God’s people. Where they are true to God’s Word we ask God’s blessing upon them. For their many faults, we ask God’s mercy and pray He can work through them despite their imperfections.
They should never be used as a replacement for active participation in a Christ honoring local church. Our prayer is that they will help those who cannot find a suitable church locally or who are providentially prohibited from attending the Lord’s House on the Lord’s Day.
If you find these sermons and studies to be a blessing and you would like to support this ministry as it teaches the Word of God worldwide, Thanks in advance for all your support!
Soli Deo Gloria! Glory to God Alone!
Breaking The Silence (Mark 5:1-19)

Breaking The Silence
Mark 5:1-19
The Elephant In The Room We say that people “ignore the Elephant in the Room” when there’s a problem so big, nobody really addresses it. Everybody assumes the insanity is normal. If we have
a problem with it, it must be just us we think. The insanity has usually been going on so long, we begin to think nothing CAN be done and
that even to suggest there’s a problem might
1) make the whole world as we know it collapse without the possibility of repair, or worse...
2) may expose US – people may start to point their fingers at US as if WE’RE the problem!
We are all too often the victims of the Silent Conspiracy to accept the demonic “normal” and it’s bondage – to ignore the Elephant in the room that everyone is too cowardly to confront. It’s when the Devil has the bluff in that tells you things can never change when they can change in an instant.

Mark 5:1-19
5:1 They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes. 2 And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. 3 He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, 4 for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him. 7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.” 8 For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” 9 And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” 13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the pigs, and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and were drowned in the sea.
14 The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 16 And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs. 17 And they began to beg Jesus to depart from their region. 18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him. 19 And he did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” (ESV)
