Demon Possession - Is It Real? (2 of 4)
Series: Gospel Fire

Mark 5:1-10; 17-20

Well, the truth is Satan is real, demons are real, and we need to know what the Bible says about demons and demon possession. Jesus and Paul dealt with demons on many occasions.
We find in our text a man who was possessed not by one demon, but by many demons. He is an example of the dirty work the devil can do, but he is also an example of the pow ...
