    Your Struggle With Authority Series

    God puts us in this world with a small subset of the human race to begin relating to. Our parents are the first representatives of fallen humanity that we meet and our first model for authority figures that we’ll meet later in life.

    Introduction Jesus said that the commandments are summed up in the dual command, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and your neighbour as yourself." Well today we come to the fifth commandment. This seems to be about loving your neighbour, but it’s one of the ...read more

    When a person preaches from the Bible, with their audience as the primary focus, it becomes an empty narcissistic and hedonistic exercise in futility.

    I have watched, listened to, and read countless sermons in my 50+ years as a Born-Again Christian and I have noticed the continued increase in feel-good, self-help, multi-point motivational messages that are more focused upon fallen human beings than upon Jesus, who has become more of a ...read more

     | 11,681 views

    Only 26% of the adult population believes that the Bible, the Word of God, is inspired, is infallible and is inerrant. These three aspects are vitally important in understanding the Bible.

    The Holy Bible was written over a fifteen-hundred year span, by forty different authors from every walk of life. It was written by kings, servants, fishermen, poets, doctors, herdsmen and even a tax collector. It was written on three different continents, Europe, Asia and Africa in sixteen ...read more

    The Written Word Of God Versus Fresh Revelation

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 16, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,891 views

    There are those who believe that the 66 books of the Bible are not enough, so they continuously look for fresh revelation through private prophetic words, dreams, or visions for a more meaningful personal experiential relationship with God.

    I consistently hear from those who want to justify that experiential special/fresh revelation supersedes what is written in the Bible because the “books” of the New Testament were not compiled until after 324 AD. Therefore, because the Disciples in the first century had to rely on hearing the ...read more

     | 46,625 views

    Trends in America toward less regard for the authority of Scripture are alarming. This message addresses that problem and sets forth four ways Christians should relate to the Bible.

    Jeremiah 8:9 6/26/16 I want to use two passages in the Bible as my text this morning. The first one is the instruction God gave to Joshua as he began leading the nation of Israel.

    Jesus called but who among us has answered? Have we picked up the Holy telephone or have we left the earthly answering machine on? Have we told the unholy secretary to hold all calls? Or have we responded, “Speak, for thy servant heareth” (1 Samuel 3:10). • Romans 8:28, And we know that all things ...read more
