This week Trent spoke on Matthew 8:28-34 as well as Psalm 8. In these passages Trent talked about how man is more valuable than animals. It was okay for Jesus to send the demons into the pigs, because the pigs are not nearly as valuable as animals. This really upset the people of that area, because they made their living raising pigs. They did not want to lose their valuable possessions (which they were not supposed to have according to Jewish law). They did not want Jesus to make any changes to their lives, even if he was able to help two men to be freed from being demon possessed. In our lives we need to be willing to let Jesus make big changes. We cannot be scared and just be comfortable with the way things are. Instead we need to invite Jesus to make changes that may change everything in our lives.
