Jesus Is The Authority

Feb 22, 2026    Thomas Cornette

Who truly has authority over your life?


In Part 3 of our Encounters With Jesus series, Pastor Thomas Cornette walks through Gospel of Mark 1:21–28, where Jesus teaches, confronts darkness, and reveals that His authority demands more than admiration; it requires submission.


As Jesus enters the synagogue, people are astonished. Not because the Scriptures are new, but because Jesus speaks as the source of truth, not merely an interpreter of it. When His voice enters the room, darkness responds, comfort is challenged, and neutrality disappears.


Sermon Highlights:


- Authority That Speaks

- Authority That Disrupts Earthly Powers

- Authority That Eliminates Neutrality


Astonishment is not surrender. When Jesus confronts our comfort and everyday life, we must decide: Is He merely impressive, or does He truly have authority over us?


This message challenges us to examine whether we’ve treated Jesus as inspiration, or as Lord.


Watch, reflect, and ask yourself: Who has authority over my life?
