     | 3,338 views

    Jesus had compassion on people and healed them.

    Authority over Sickness Mark 1:29-39 As we have traveled through the first chapter of Mark, we have seen many demonstrations of Jesus’ authority.

    Living Under Authority Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 2, 2022
     | 3,528 views

    We see the governing mandate, its mission and its means. Human authorities are used by God to achieve His sovereign purposes. We submit to Him and live as good citizens.

    I am not sure if you noticed this, we are always living under some kind of authority in life. • As children, we live under the authority of our parents. In schools, our teachers. At work, our superiors. In church, pastors and leaders. As citizens, our government. • None of these authorities is ...read more

    When Paul wrote Romans chapter 13, did he have in mind total obedience and surrender to a totalitarian government? "If the civil power commands us to violate the law of God, we must obey God before man" (Wuest).

    This morning, I am going to begin our message with an illustration from a 2018 CNN article written by Thomas Weber: “On March 21, 1933, Germany was in turmoil. Less than two months after the Nazi seizure of power, even people with pro-regime leanings felt disquieted about the draconian measures ...read more

    I share a personal story about my confrontation with a man possessed by a devil and how the Lord helped me understand that the authority we have as His sons and daughters is real.

    Good evening. Bless the Lord, oh my soul and all that is within me. Bless His holy name. I want to say up front. You see me here on a Sunday night with 30 minutes to deliver a message. I want to say up front, loudly and clearly, we have a pastor of great faith! (Laughter) Turn with me to First ...read more

    There is nowhere in the New Testament Worship that we are authorized to use instruments of music during our worship to God!

    Music can improve mood, decrease pain and anxiety, and facilitate opportunities for emotional expression. Research suggests that music can benefit our physical and mental health in numerous ways. Music therapy is used by hospice and palliative care board-certified music therapist Max Lerman to ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,833 views

    Whenever there is confusion, it can't be from God. Wherever there is confusion, God is not there. God is the God of peace, and His presence is characterized by peace.

    God is not the Author of Confusion Study Text: 1 Corinthians 14: 31 - 33 Introduction: - The Bible states categorically, that God is not the author of confusion. This is true not only in the case in our text, but in all aspects of life. - Confusion divides, separates, and ...read more

    Jesus: A Teacher With Authority Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 4, 2023
     | 2,643 views

    Jesus walked into the synagogue in Capernaum. When Jesus taught there was a striking difference to the norm. Not as the scribes and the teachers of the law. It says he taught as one who had authority.

    Mark 1:21-28 In Mark Chapter 1 don’t see Jesus lying in a manger. We see a different perspective of Jesus. We see a thirty-year-old man. We see Jesus with authority so striking that people can only stare in amazement. Definition of authority is the power or the right to command. Jesus’ ...read more

    Having instructed Timothy on relationships with widows and elders, now Paul addressed relationships between slaves and masters. Paul emphasized the importance of submission and obedience so that God's Word will be held in high esteem.

    Introduction: A. The relationship between bosses and employees can be fodder for many jokes and most of them are not too funny! (Especially if you are the boss) 1. I heard about a boss who put a sign on the company bulletin board that announced: “To err is human, to forgive is not a company ...read more

    The Authority Of Jesus Christ Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 23, 2022
     | 1,339 views

    Jesus Christ is central in our faith. The Old Testament looks forward to Jesus Christ. It has an attitude of anticipation. In the New Testament the really big claim is for the supreme authority of Jesus Christ.

    When I was in college one of my courses included outdoor repelling down a sheer cliff. This is not what you normally do in college. We were not reading about repelling and answering questions, we were out on rocks. The first lesson to repelling is check the ropes. Do not take for granted that ...read more

    An Unlikely Author Of A Gospel Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 6, 2023
     | 3,809 views

    In this first sermon in the series on the Gospel of Mark, we want to answer the questions: who was Mark and why is he an unlikely author of a Gospel.

    A. One day a woman was cleaning her house and singing Gospel songs as she worked. 1. She began singing, “Soon and very soon, we are going to see the king...” 2. A few minutes later, she heard her young son in the next room and he was singing the same song, but something a little off. 3. Listen to ...read more

    Finalizing His Authority Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 9, 2023
     | 1,006 views

    In this section of Mark's Gospel, we see Jesus finalizing His authority. We see His superior wisdom, knowledge and power as He is confronted by three groups of Jewish religious leaders and rises above each confrontation.

    Introduction: A. Christian Herter was governor of Massachusetts back in the 1950s and one day when he was campaigning for a second term in office, he went looking for votes at a church barbecue. 1. Herter was famished and as he moved through the serving line, he held out his plate to the woman ...read more

    Short lesson about the authority of the Bible and handout. I used ChatGpt to help write both.

    Sermon Title: The Transformative Authority of Scripture Introduction: What Does it Mean to Have Authority? Opening Thought: Authority can often feel like a heavy or even oppressive word.

    Understand that God is a God of peace and unity, not confusion, and we must stand firm in this truth against the enemy's tactics of confusion, knowing that Christ has already won the victory.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters! Today, we're going to dive into a profound truth found in the very heart of 1 Corinthians 14:33, which says, "For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints."
