    based on 6 ratings
     | 46,951 views

    What authority is to be wielded by those God has called? What is authority? What limits has God placed upon us?

    Introduction: When a pastor begins to speak about “spiritual authority” in a church, there is always a cringe on the part of the congregation. Women expect a sermon about “submission,” deacons expect a message on “getting in line behind the pastor’s vision,” youth imagine being told they better ...read more

    Isa 53: 3 Jesus Was Despised Series

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 15, 2024
     | 821 views

    In Theology, if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can assume that God is making an effort to get our attention on the issue. So it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to know that Jesus was despised.

    There is a general rule in Theology that if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can safely assume that God is making a determined effort to get our attention on the issue. And so it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to face ...read more

    Hatred Growing

     | 2,740 views

    Now who do you think Hatred is growing towards? I would immediately list the answer as the lawbreakers, or the ungodly. No, overwhelmingly the answer is towards Christians. Somehow, no matter what may be happening, the Christian is blamed.

    Sermon- Hatred growing - As I’m studying I often go through little Christian Forums. I’m looking for other people’s thoughts about what’s happening in our world. - A trend that I’m noticing more & more is hatred. Q- Hatred for who? - I would immediately list the answer as the ...read more
