Emmanuel: God With Us to Deliver, But How?
While the exposition of Mark 5 is commendable for its clarity and pastoral warmth, the sermon's application contains a critical soteriological error. It presents salvation as a synergistic act, where the sinner's choice to 'say yes' or 'agree' is the final, decisive factor. This functionally contradicts the monergistic truth of the text itself—where Christ sovereignly seeks and saves the helpless—and undermines the biblical doctrine of man's total inability to save himself.
