Executioners And A Scribe Series

Contributed by David Wilson on Apr 7, 2011

After God showed Ezekiel the extent of the idolatry of Jerusalem, he then shows Ezekiel that in spite of His anger, a remnant will be preserved.

The Importance Of Authority

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Sep 30, 2017

If we recognise Jesus's authority as divine, then we are forced to listen to Him and allow him to impact our lives. If Jesus is the Word of God and the Scriptures are also the Word of God, then we need allow Scripture to impact our lives too.
