    Who Was Afraid Of Jesus? Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 9, 2021
     | 2,406 views

    Jesus Christ has all authority over both the natural and supernatural world. He brought freedom to a tortured soul, stirred a local crowd into anger, and calmed a raging sea. His ministry brought grace, mercy, love, hope, and for some, fear. Why would anyone fear Him? You would be surprised.

    Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works In life there is often a balance we must seek after, finding good measures of various attitudes and actions to find a happy medium in life.

How we believe in God because our observation of the world demands it. We looked at our belief in the word of God, the Bible, through which we come to ...read more
