In this episode of Growing In Grace from Grace Bible Church in Hutchinson, Kansas, Pastor Bart Horton begins teaching Mark 1:29–34 and shows how Jesus proves He is the Messiah—not only through authoritative teaching, but through compassionate power.

After the synagogue service, Jesus goes to Simon Peter’s home and heals Peter’s mother-in-law with a simple touch. As the Sabbath ends at sundown, the whole city gathers at the door bringing the sick and demon-oppressed—and Jesus heals many and casts out many demons. This passage reveals Christ’s humility, His care for the weak, and His power to reverse the effects of the curse as a preview of the coming kingdom.

Passage: Mark 1:29–34

In Part 2 of The Ultimate Authority, Pastor Bart Horton continues through Mark 1:21–28 and shows how Jesus proves His authority not only through His teaching, but through His power over the demonic realm.

As an unclean spirit confronts Jesus in the synagogue, the demon identifies Him as “the Holy One of God”—and Jesus responds with absolute authority: “Be silent, and come out.” This message offers sober clarity about spiritual darkness, real comfort for believers who are sealed by the Holy Spirit, and steady hope that Christ’s authority is never threatened.
