John Nelson Darby emphasizes in his sermon on 'Luke 8' that Jesus Christ is the new center of gathering for His people, replacing the old covenant with Israel. He illustrates how Israel's rejection of Christ leads to the inclusion of the Gentiles, highlighting the parable of the sower to show the varied responses to God's word. Darby explains that true faith is demonstrated through perseverance and fruitfulness, even amidst trials, as exemplified by the disciples' fear during a storm and the healing of Jairus' daughter. He stresses that Christ's presence assures believers of safety and peace, regardless of external circumstances. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a deep, abiding faith in Christ as the source of life and hope.
