In Part 2 of The Ultimate Authority, Pastor Bart Horton continues through Mark 1:21–28 and shows how Jesus proves His authority not only through His teaching, but through His power over the demonic realm.

As an unclean spirit confronts Jesus in the synagogue, the demon identifies Him as “the Holy One of God”—and Jesus responds with absolute authority: “Be silent, and come out.” This message offers sober clarity about spiritual darkness, real comfort for believers who are sealed by the Holy Spirit, and steady hope that Christ’s authority is never threatened.
