When Jesus returns to Galilee from His journey into Gentile territory, He miraculously heals a man who is both deaf and cannot speak.

Our hearts are the source of the sin that pollutes and corrupts. And if this is the case, then no amount of hand washing will do.

Heartless worship is never pleasing to God, and we must never allow human tradition to trump the authority of scripture.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd who fulfills what God Himself promised by doing what only God could do.

The truth may be opposed, its messengers be killed, but darkness can never overcome the Light who has come into the world.

Those whom Jesus calls, He also sends.

It is only by faith that the saving power of Jesus can be experienced, but not everyone is willing to receive what Jesus has to say.

In the face of seemingly overwhelming obstacles, God calls us to trust in His promises, find comfort in His presence, take courage, and obey.

When Jesus arrives on the other side of the Sea of Galilee He encounters not one, but two desperate people with a need only He can meet.

Just as Jesus calmed the storm by the power of His word, Jesus brings peace to the turmoil to the soul of a man oppressed by demons by speaking with divine authority.

Jesus responds to the discples' fear and frustration with a divine display of power that reveals something important about who He really is.

When crisis hits, what will we do? To where will we run? In Psalm 11 we see the psalmists response; his refuge is in God.

As Jesus preaches to the crowds in Galilee He uses parables to teach on the nature of the kingdom of God.

It is possible to hear what Jesus is saying but completely miss the point.

Following Jesus results in relationship with Jesus.

His family thinks Jesus is crazy. The religious leaders say He is possessed. But Jesus reveals that the true source of His power and goal of His mission.

We are all worshipers. The question is, whom or what do we worship?

The call of Jesus creates a community that shares a common Savior and a common mission.

In this fifth and final conflict with the Pharisees during His Galilean ministry, Jesus initiates confrontation in the synagogue on the Sabbath.

When Jesus is confronted about His disciples actions on the Sabbath He rejects the legalistic ritualism of the Pharisees by appealing to the authority of scripture, implying the authority of a king, and claiming the authority of God Himself.
