The Power of Jesus over Creation and Spirit World Jesus continues to do miracles and cast out demons in spite of growing opposition to Him and His ministry. We have learned in the previous session, that the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were waiting to see if Jesus would do anything wrong, so…
