    The Test Of Power And Authority

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Aug 24, 2014
     | 8,492 views

    Many times, we get hurt and we wanted to take revenge. But God reminds us through the story of Joseph that we have been placed by God in that position of authority for a greater purpose and that we must always manifest a humble heart.

    THE TEST OF POWER AND AUTHORITY Last week, we talked about the promotion of Joseph to the second highest in command of Egypt. He had been lifted up from the dark dungeon of despair to the palace of great responsibility, authority and power. It was a long process of waiting patiently and ...read more

    The Existence And Presence Of Almighty God", Part 3

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 27, 2023
     | 1,005 views

    One of the major arguments (proofs) for the existence of God is based upon moral standards, defined as the concept of right and wrong, good and evil, ethics and emotions that are in our consciences and have guided civilizations throughout history.

    The job of a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ is not only share the Gospel, but also to make all non-believers uncomfortable in their assumptions. As mentioned in a previous sermon, uncomfortable atheists and skeptics use what they consider to be a sure-fire weapon guaranteed to confound and ...read more

     | 955 views

    We celebrate the values of Freedom by our Founding Fathers. And we celebrate the "freedom" from the fear of death because Jesus conquered death and proves His authority is from God, freeing people from demon possession, disease & death.

    In Jesus Holy Name June 30, 2024 Text: Mark 5:28, 41 Pentecost VI Redeemer “The Authority of Jesus Gives Freedom” (read the text) “56 men in wool suits and high collars met for weeks in cramped quarters in the hot, muggy, Philadelphia, ...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.

    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.

    Attribute One | A Man Submits To Authority Series

    Contributed by Vince Miller on Apr 26, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,928 views

    A man is someone who can submit to authority. Submission is an attitude that results from a mindset. The man who excels at this understands that he cannot self-govern and needs to be governed. Therefore, he gives up his will to a higher authority.

    Well today, we are looking at the first of nine attributes. Today’s attribute is – Submits to Authority. I believe that Jesus Christ was teaching the attributes during his life, as he walked this earth. That he was trying to help, us to understand – as a man – what it means to be a true man of God. ...read more

    Satan is DEFEATED, Jesus came to DISARM the devil! Now, we should be FREE from the POWER of Satan, POWER of SIN and POWER of DEATH. We are SAVED! Therefore we should be FREE from the works of the Devil! Such as FEAR, WORRY and DOUBT!

    We are CALLED and CHOSEN by God to take back the AUTHORITY of Man OVER ALL CREATION which Adam had lost. Genesis 1:27(KJV) “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” When Adam sinned, the AUTHORITY of man OVER ALL ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 18,955 views

    Peter indicates that our salvation should impact how we related to governmental authority. Submission is not a popular topic, but it is needful, in our rebellious & self-gratifying society. Submission is recognition of God¡¯s right to govern our lives.

    1 PETER 2: 13-17 RESPECT CIVIL AUTHORITY [Renewing Hope Series] [Romans 13:1-7 / Acts 4:19-20; 5:29] From this point on 1 Peter discusses the effect of our salvation on our life and relationships.

    The Reason We Submit To Authority Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 15, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,670 views

    Obedience that originates from this kind of fear of penalty is not true obedience. That is the reason why the apostle Paul exhorts us in Romans 13:5, that our obedience must stem from our conscience and not because we fear the consequences of disobedience.

    The Reason We Submit to Authority In Romans 13:5 we read, “We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.” (WNT) All of us are familiar with the principle that if we don’t obey rules and submit to those in authority, we will get punished, and ...read more

     | 6,667 views

    Now it is impossible to activate authority without having a recognized identity. Since authority organizes and drives itself through our accepted identity.

    As believers, we do not know how to react as we are witness to the weaknesses and unpreparedness of our supposed technological advancement in addressing the problems of our days: although, knowledge has increased exponentially? Even now, the world is looking up to the average believer to proffer ...read more
