Our summer series is called Walking with Jesus. We are looking at the life and ministry of the Lord using a chronological approach which involves a study of the Harmony of the Gospels.
When we study the Harmony, it gives us a sense of walking with the Lord, experiencing history with Him.

Have you ever been somewhere and had a really weird, creepy vibe? The "heebie-jeebies"?
The sensation may have been physical or maybe the vibe was more psychological.
Have you ever felt something like that after attending or going to a religious institution?

The message today is entitled: Spirits in the Synagogue.
Here we see Jesus encountering the forces of darkness (demon / evil spirit) and He does so in what we would liken to as a Jewish Church.
Our text today is found in Mark 1:21-28, and a sister-text is found in Luke 4:31b-37; both are from Section #42 of the Harmony.

21 Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
22 The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
24 “What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
25 But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
26 At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
27 All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28 And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
