David Servant preaches on the account of the Gerasene demoniac, highlighting the differences in the Gospel reports regarding the number of demon-possessed men and emphasizing the fear demons have of Jesus and the tragic choice humans make to reject salvation. He discusses the supernatural strength of the possessed man, the dishonor to Jesus when Christians fear demons, and the gradual descent into possession through entertaining demonic thoughts. The sermon also explores the significance of the demons entering the pigs and the response of the Gerasene people to Jesus' power and authority.

John Nelson Darby explores the relationships of key figures named Mary and James in the New Testament, emphasizing their connections to Jesus and each other. He identifies Mary, the mother of James, Jude, and Joses, as the same Mary who is often mentioned alongside Mary Magdalene, and discusses the implications of these familial ties. Darby argues that James, referred to as the Lord's brother, is indeed the apostle James the less, highlighting the significance of these relationships in understanding the early church. He concludes that the identity of these individuals is crucial for grasping the narrative of Christ's life and the establishment of the church.
