When Deliverance Displaces Religion

Luke 13:10-17

January 10, 2021 • Jeff Lyle

In one scene, found only in Luke’s Gospel, we behold a Kingdom encounter between a lady, the Lord and a legalist. Her life had been dominated by demonic power for close to two decades and religion had not helped her a bit. On this life-changing day, Jesus delivered her from both the power of demons and the powerlessness of religion. As one might expect, those loyal to their religious ways protested what Jesus did for her which led to a strong rebuke from the Lord. In this message we have opportunity to examine our own hearts to discover if we make the same mistake of prioritizing policy above people and religion over rescue.
