Pastor Jim Barnett’s message at Grace Calvary Chapel reminded everyone that Jesus’ authority isn’t just a story from long ago—it’s power that still brings freedom today. Drawing from Mark 1, Jim painted a vivid picture of Jesus commanding the unclean spirit to be silent, showing how the Savior’s word restores peace, purpose, and community. He encouraged us to recognize the “possessions” in our own lives—whether they’re fears, addictions, or distractions—and to listen for the sound of silence where Jesus speaks healing and identity back into us. His message was heartfelt, relatable, and full of hope that Jesus still makes broken lives whole.
