NorthernLife SermonsNo Neutral Ground (Mark 5:1-20) | Gospel of New Beginnings E27 | Benjamin ShanksCS Lewis said "There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch, every split second is claimed by God, and counterclaimed by Satan."
In the story of Mark 5:1-20, Jesus lands among foreign people in a foreign place under a foreign power, and takes ground FOR the Kingdom of God FROM the enemy. Yet as the Kingdom of God comes, Jesus is rejected from the area. Why? Because the people think Jesus is an even worse evil, not a much greater good.

3. Jesus is in charge.
When we come to realise that Jesus is in charge, we have two options: FEAR or FAITH. This message will encourage you if you are in a stormy season of life that Jesus is in charge, and He is good, so you can have faith.

The disciples, on the one hand, fell asleep three times — their spirit was willing, but their flesh was weak. They all fall away into faithlessness.
Jesus, on the other hand, experienced the agony of the Cup of God's wrath and separation from the Father, yet made it through Gethsemane in faithfulness.
For every follower of Jesus walking through their own Gethsemane experience of temptation, there are two options:
