The power of God and the message of the gospel.


Luke 4:32 ‘And they were astonished at His doctrine: for His word was with power.’


The people listened to Jesus because He had authority and power.

He did not seek the recognition of established authorities;

held no allegiance to religious hierarchy;

and did not ask permission to preach the gospel.

He was hated by religious leaders.

He had power they could not deny;

authority they could not control;

and spoke against the hypocrisy of their religion.

The message of the gospel is the power of God unto salvation.

We do not need permission to preach the gospel.

We need to be filled with the Spirit of God;

burning with the fire of God;

reaching out with the love of Christ;

and desiring only that others find new life in Jesus.
