    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Feb 2, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,108 views

    Jesus begins his ministry and immediately clashes with the understanding of the people and the forces of evil. Jesus confronts the status quo of our live seeking to free us from the chains that bind us and to enable us to experience true freedom.

    Mark 1:21-28 “Skirmish with the Status Quo” INTRODUCTION The beginning of Mark’s gospel is in stark contrast to those of the other gospel writers. You do not find a boring list of Jesus’ ancestors, as you do in Matthew, nor the heartwarming story of Jesus’ birth ...read more

    “Ginger curry and lots of tea.” That’s what a recent marathon-running hundred-year-old said was the secret to his longevity and spunk. What are some other “secrets” for long life that you’ve heard? Hard work? Clean living? Plenty of exercise? A loving family? Did ...read more

     | 2,793 views

    I want you all to know that the importance to all of this relates very closely to the subject of “Authority in Religion” . . . It is impossible to maintain unity unless we can agree upon a ‘standard’ of authority. Funny thing is . . .

    Following Jesus without Denominationalism Part 5: “Determining Our Standard of Authority” Now that Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s can be put behind us, maybe we can start putting more emphasis on those things we should be working on through out the year . . . starting ...read more

    Offensive Nature Series

    The culture has problems with all kinds of authority. They question when anyone finds authority in the Bible and are offended when anyone else does.

    Who's In Charge? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 30, 2012
     | 5,604 views

    Face it, we humans like to be in charge of ourselves and as many others as we can. Though we aren't all power mongers, this default human behavior causes major problems when we see how God's universe really operates. The lesson comes home in this portion

    We as humans have various default behaviors that we engage in. I know that we as Christians don’t like to think that we are that way, but unless energy is expended in seeking healing from these default human behaviors, we will continue to do them naturally. Paul said in Philippians 2:12 ...read more

     | 27,623 views

    God has established the authorities that exist and that Christians should submit themselves to their authority. Paul gives several reasons why we should submit to the governing authorities, some of them practical, some of them moral or spiritually driven,

    The Benefits of Submission Romans 13:1-7 1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.

    Is the devil beating up your family? Is he messing with your money? Is he kicking sand in your face? Is he mocking you? Are you fed up with his mess? (The next question is) What are you going to do about it?

    Before I start this message I have to obey the Lord, he told me to prophesy: somebody listening to this message is going to go from a Zero to a Hero, you’re going to go from the underdog to the wonder dog.

    What kind of man is this who has the authority to cast out demons, make cripples walk and cleanse the Temple. They demanded a sign, he gave them one and they missed it.

    The Cleansing of the Temple: John 2:12-22 Confirmation that the Temple was being turned into a marketplace during the time of Jesus can be found in some early Jewish writings. First of all, there is a record of the common practice of setting up moneychangers in the temple area during Passover. The ...read more
