In this bizarre passage, we see people who were trying to manipulate Jesus and His power, but their plan backfired. They discovered that Jesus doesn't conform to their will, but rather that they should conform to His. They confessed their involvement in evil spiritual practicers and literally burned any ties that they had to their old sinful patterns. This week, we're going to focus on the authority of Jesus and how it should prompt us to dramatically reorder our lives around Him.
