Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

Welcome to this sermon from Pastor Robert Furrow, diving deep into Mark 3:20-30 and exploring the profound topic of the unforgivable sin—blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. In this message, titled “Stronger Than the Strong Man,” Pastor Robert unpacks the biblical text with clarity, offering practical insights and spiritual guidance for believers and seekers alike.

What You’ll Learn:
1. The Unforgivable Sin: What is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, and why is it described as an eternal sin? Pastor Robert explains how continually rejecting the Holy Spirit’s conviction can lead to a hardened heart, where God’s voice goes silent, much like a GPS that stops recalculating after repeated missed turns.

2. Jesus’ Authority: Through the parable of the “strong man,” Jesus demonstrates His power over Satan, showing that only someone stronger can bind the enemy and plunder his house. This teaching highlights Christ’s victory and authority over evil.

3. Misunderstandings About Jesus: From His family thinking He was “out of His mind” to the scribes accusing Him of being possessed by Beelzebub, this passage reveals how even those closest to Jesus misunderstood His mission.

4. The Role of the Holy Spirit: Drawing from John 16:7-8, John 3:5-6, and Romans 8:8-9, Pastor Robert explains the Holy Spirit’s work in convicting the world of sin, guiding believers into truth, and enabling spiritual rebirth.

5. Judgment and Responsibility: This sermon emphasizes that judgment is based on the light one has received. Those with greater knowledge, like the religious leaders, face stricter consequences for rejecting the truth.

This message is for anyone seeking to understand the seriousness of rejecting the Holy Spirit’s work, the power of Jesus over spiritual strongholds, and the invitation to become part of God’s family by doing His will. Whether you’re a lifelong Christian, a new believer, or someone curious about faith, this sermon offers biblical wisdom, practical application, and a call to respond to the Holy Spirit’s leading. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow in your understanding of Mark 3, the unforgivable sin, and the transformative power of Jesus Christ.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
