Sermon on Luke 4:31-44 - The Authority and Power of the Preaching of Jesus Part 2

His word, written and preached, is still the instrument He uses as the exalted Christ, to control and overcome evil in the world. He speaks through the mouth of His church as His church faithfully expounds and bears testimony to His Word.
