Jesus comes to the hopeless, frees them by His authority, and makes them new.

About this message

A man living among the tombs, chained and uncontrollable, the one everyone had given up on, meets Jesus on the shore. Pastor Vitali walks through Mark 5:1-20 to show how hopeless we are without Christ, how completely His authority sets us free, and what life looks like afterward: new desires, new obedience, and a story to tell.

For anyone who feels trapped by sin that seems impossible to break.

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
