The Answer Is No!

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 17, 2018

Jesus is too much a threat to Rome, to the Jewish religious authorities, and to the crowds. They all reject his words of life and his invitation to walk in God’s kingdom.

INTRODUCTION In the movie, “The Lion King” there is the classic plot of good versus evil. There is also a sub-plot of Simba learning what it is to be king. He has to answer the question, “Why will he be king?” Is it to have people do his will? Or, is being a king to serve people. A similar ...read more

Jesus has bestowed upon every believer an unlimited power of attorney, granting us the authority to use His name in every situation.

Contributed by William Mouser on Aug 23, 2005

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

The Strongman

Contributed by Marilyn Murphree on Sep 29, 2018

The problem must be first bound and removed before the strongman is overcome and gone.

The Strongman Too many things try to latch on to us—sickness, disease, things that start out small but work their way in over time, a little pain until we can’t shake it and it becomes debilitating as time goes by. When we do not rise up to combat the problem, pretty soon we are chained so tightly ...read more

Go! And Open The Door To Jesus Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 14, 2025

This is not a call to the unbelieving world. This is a call to a church. And it is not a gentle “If you get a moment, let’s talk.” It is urgent. It is personal. And it is eternally important.

Go! And Open the Door to Jesus Introduction — The Knock That Changes Everything If you’ve ever been at home and heard an unexpected knock at the door, you know the feeling. Your heart jumps a little — Who could it be? You peek through the curtains, maybe even stand there debating whether to ...read more

Just Say A Word And I Shall Be Well

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Dec 1, 2025

He understood something many believers fail to grasp. He knew that distance does not limit Jesus. Physical presence is not required for a miracle. Location does not weaken divine authority. If Jesus would only speak, the sickness had no choice but to surrender.

Just Say a Word and I Shall Be Well INTRODUCTION There comes a moment in every believer’s life when human effort reaches its limit. When the connections you trusted cannot help you, when the strength you relied on is insufficient, when the people you expected to stand with you cannot ...read more

Because He Says So

Contributed by David Roth on Feb 20, 2015

Ephiphany 4 (B). Casting out an unclean spirit at the synagogue in Capernaum, Christ reveals that he has authority over the unseen. Therefore we may trust Him to protect us from the devil and all forces of evil.
