    As we continue our series through Mark, I want us to see why it is important to allow Jesus to have authority over your decisions, your possessions and your life. For if we are going to be the “little Christ”; it will be because we recognize the authority

    Authority – The power or right to control, judge or prohibit the actions of others. Authority – A person or group having power. Authority – An expert in a particular field. Authority – The ability to influence or control others. These are just a few of the definitions one ...read more

    An apologetic for the authority of the Bible

    You've all played a game called "gossip" that points out the weakness of spoken words: A minister, a few years ago, tells his associate: "Next Sunday, at 10:00 p.m., Hailey's comet will appear here. This happens only once every 75 years. Have the SS classes arrange everyone outside to watch this ...read more

    Lesson 34

    As we approach the end of the Lord’s Sermon on the Mount, we are faced with some of the most solemn, sober, soul-searching words ever to proceed from the lips of the Son of God. I. THE DANGER OF DECEPTION vs. 21-23 In the previous verses Jesus encouraged us to be on the lookout for false ...read more

    Why We Preach God's Word

    Contributed by Steve Hereford on Jun 29, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 8,363 views

    The preaching of the Word of God is and must be at the center of everything a church does. It is our mission and mandate. In this message, Pastor Steve shows "Why We Preach God’s Word."

    Preaching is the greatest calling of God. It is the means by which He calls sinners to Himself and the means by which He equips those He calls for service. Preaching has been downplayed in the church. In some churches it’s not only downplayed but has been replaced. Listen to how some churches view ...read more

    Call Of Moses Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Aug 31, 2019
     | 6,026 views

    God called Moses for the highest lifestyle. The call narrative is very interesting and enlightening. There is no age limit for the call. Living for God on the earth is important than doing some thing on God's name. Personal life precedes programs.

    Exodus 3:1-12 Introduction: The account of call and commission of Moses comes to us in the book of Exodus through Yahwistic and Elohistic sources. It is placed between the states of the oppression and liberation of Israel. Let us meditate the call of Moses. Exodus 3:1-4 GOD’S CALL TO MOSES Now ...read more

    Distinguishing Between Blind Obedience And Faith

    Christians are accused of being robots who obey without question. Abraham was an obedient servant who was justified by faith, but he knew exactly what he was doing because he weighed the options.

    As followers of Jesus, we must argue our case fairly, even when our opponents do not. They do not set our agenda.

    Guilty Until Proven Guilty (Acts 6:8-15) 1. Many changes come to us a step at a time. I came across of illustration of this regarding trapping wild pigs. You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to ...read more

    Should we allow culture dictate how we interpret God's Word? While most Christians would resoundingly say NO, culture often dictates what and how we read the Bible.

    By What Authority?

    Who is Jesus? Was He just a man. Or was He a myth? Or is He the Divine Christ?

    By What Authority? Luke 19:45-20:8 Luke has just given extensive coverage of the Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday. (See sermon: “It’s My Party, and I’ll Cry if I Want To”) So why does Luke give only one verse to the cleansing of the Temple when Matthew and especially Mark give extensive coverage? ...read more
