     | 3,360 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

    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.

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

    When Jesus was challenged to name His authority to teach, he exposed His interlocutors as incapable of assessing His answer even were He to deign give it.

    “When [Jesus] entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, ‘By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?’ Jesus answered them, ‘I also will ask you one question, and if you tell me the answer, then ...read more

    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.
