    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 4:21–29 - Message 16 – The Argument Of Contrasts: Which Woman Are You Following? Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 18, 2024
     | 644 views

    Two ways, two sons, two destinies, two mothers but one father – Hagar and Sarah being the two mothers. Paul develops this position of two systems, one under bondage and one according to promise and freedom. Christians can place themselves under bondage.

Part 1 – Galatians 4 verses 21 – 23 We come now to the latter part of chapter 3 and the continuing evidence why Christians are not under Law but walk by grace through the promises ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,709 views

    Maintaining a mission-minded focus means resolving inner conflict quickly and openly by showing concern for all and valuing all, but also by delegating authority to others that leads to unity. A model for kingdom building!

    Sermon – Maintaining a Mission-Minded Focus Scripture Lesson: Acts 6:1-7 “But as the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent. The Greek-speaking believers complained about the Hebrew-speaking believers, saying that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily ...read more

    based on 56 ratings
     | 2,827 views

    First we must be following the right Jesus, and then we must ask ourselves if Jesus has authorized what we are doing for Him and in His name.

    Jesus preached the greatest sermon ever preached. We know it as the Sermon on the Mount. And towards the end of this sermon we find this morning’s scriptures. It has caused me to examine my actions as it relates to discipleship. Jesus starts off by telling us that not all people who sound ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,992 views

    In Matthew 16, Jesus confers on Peter (and, later the other Apostles) authority to rule the Church, founded on the truth of Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Messiah.

    Matthew 16:13-20 800-Pound Gorilla? Or the First Pope? There’s a phrase that’s popular in modern discussions of any number of topics, and that phrase is this: “an 800 pound gorilla in the room.” An example would be this line which I plucked from a blog entry on the international economy as it ...read more

    Great debate began taking place during the middle of the last century within Christianity as to whether or not a genuine Born-Again Christian can be demon possessed. When asked “can a Christian have a demon?” I always reply, “Why would they want one?!” The debate revolved primarily around the ...read more

    Do you ever question those who are in positions of spiritual authority over you? Do you ever question God? Maybe you should.

    13, November 2005 Dakota Community Church Questions Do these quotes sound familiar? “Children should be seen and not heard.” “Because I’m your father and I said so; that’s why.” Most of us were raised with the idea that it is somehow wrong to question authority.

     | 6,214 views

    The Lord has given us the authority to do His work through the power of the Holy Spirit. We are God’s vessels of hope for a hurting world.

    This was the first miracle of healing in the Book of Acts, and a first for the newborn church. This was very unlike the Peter and John we know from the Gospels. • Here they were very confident and they spoke with authority. • We saw a paradigm shift in their understanding and belief. Previously ...read more

    INTRO.- Dreaming isn’t bad, depending on what you dream for. And I’m not talking about night dreams because we all have some crazy night dreams.

    Contributed by John Johnson on Nov 9, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 22,023 views

    The greatest danger facing the church today is an attack on the authority of the Word of God. When the church comes together in unity, the spirit of God is poured out in abundance.

    The greatest danger facing the church today is an attack on the authority of the Word of God.
