Gods and Monsters: Where does Jesus fit into Halloween?

Jeremy Swift

Published on: 04/11/2025

The Bible reveals that while dark spiritual forces are real and powerful, they are not the ultimate power. In Mark 5, Jesus encounters a man possessed by thousands of demons who had superhuman strength and couldn't be restrained by iron chains. Yet when Jesus arrived, these demons immediately recognized his authority and begged for permission before doing anything. The same Jesus who commanded legions of demons with a word has ultimate authority over every area of our lives today. Nothing we face - past mistakes, current struggles, addictions, or broken relationships - is more powerful than Jesus.

Carry Your Cross

The Comeback King

Jesus Christ is returning not as the humble baby of Bethlehem, but as a conquering warrior king on a white horse. Scripture describes His second coming with vivid imagery - eyes like flames of fire, many crowns, and a robe dipped in blood. He returns to confront injustice and make all wrongs right, wielding ultimate authority as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. For believers, this brings hope rather than fear, as they will witness evil's final defeat. Understanding Christ's imminent return should transform how we live today, creating urgency in our faith and intentionality in sharing the gospel with others.

The Incarnate Christ: From Creator to Carpenter

Jeremy Swift

Published on: 23/10/2025

The Incarnation of Christ reveals the ultimate act of humility - God becoming man to save humanity. Jesus, while remaining fully God, emptied Himself of His divine position and glory to take on human form. He lived a perfect life and died on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice for sin, replacing the Old Testament system of animal sacrifices. After His death, God exalted Jesus to the highest position of authority, giving Him the name above every name. This means every being in heaven, on earth, and under the earth will eventually bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. This incredible truth should transform how we live daily, calling us to follow Christ's example of humble service and boldly share His love with others.

Trinity: God's Blueprint for Community

Jeremy Swift

Published on: 07/10/2025

Community is a game-changing element that can alter personal lives and eternal trajectories. Rooted in the very nature of God as Trinity, true community involves giving, living, and serving together. Jesus demonstrated this divine pattern by operating in perfect unity with the Father and Holy Spirit. When we embrace God's design for community, lives are transformed, trajectories change, and communities are revitalized. We cannot thrive alone - we need meaningful connections with others who can walk alongside us through both struggles and victories.
