Text: Luke 11:14-28
Title: The Strongman and Empty House
Theme: Satan seems to think that he's got the upper-hand (strongman) position when it comes to controlling peoples' lives - but there is one who is Stronger who is coming to defeat the strongman and take away his 'possession'. This is the parable revealing the nature of the mission of Jesus - not only Who he is (liberator) but how he's going to do it (defeat the strength of evil). This is a parable highlighting the Power of Jesus - and giving people an invitation: Receive Him and Be Filled By His Presence.
