     | 5,367 views

    When Jesus encountered a man who needed compassion due to a demonic possession, He was there to provide it without asking for an offering or something, anything, in return. What has Jesus done for you and who've you told about it?

     | 1,512 views

    This sermon was the first one of a series on the book of Ephesians. It unpacks the first two verses. Specifically Paul's authority to write the letter, and the value of the specific recipients of the letter (i.e., who Paul would refer to as "Saints)."

    Good morning. We are beginning a new series on the book of Ephesians called The Church in Christ and the Church in Culture. In case you are not familiar with the book of Ephesians, it is actually a letter that the apostle Paul wrote to the church that he founded in the ancient city of Ephesus. ...read more

    Unleashing Authority And Identity In Christ

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Mar 25, 2021
     | 7,074 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

    Understanding power and authority and the difference between the two will cause your prayer life and ministry to become more effective.

    Difference between power and authority. The KJV USES POWER AND AUTHORITY INTERCHANGEABLY AND THIS CAN BE MISLEADING. They are two different words in the Greek with two different meanings. 1. Power and authority are two different things 2. Power and authority, to be effective and legitimate, have ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,922 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

    Sermon # 48 - Words Of Authority Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 28, 2025
     | 217 views

    God has bestowed authority to human beings whom He has created in His own image. This authority was exercised by many men of God all through the bible. However, Jesus was the perfect one whose authority astounded everyone who met or heard Him.

    Today’s meditation is based on Numbers 22:6, “They outnumber us, so please come and put a curse on them for me. Then perhaps we will be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land. I know that when you pronounce a blessing, people are blessed, and when you pronounce a curse, they are placed ...read more

    INTRODUCTION Living under God’s authority means surrendering personal will to His divine rule, resulting in a life of purpose, power, and protection.

    The 21st-century world is louder than ever. And Scripture commands us not simply to run, not merely to endure, but to fix our eyes on Jesus.
