Have we lost our spiritual authority and if so, how can we regain it? This begins a study of Ephesians.
What has become of the days of Charles Finney, Smith Wigglesworth, and Jonathan Edwards? Where are the days of the Welsh Revival, the Great Awakening, the Azusa Street Revival?

Good morning, beloved family in Christ. We gather here today in the glorious light of His love. We are here to share His word, to grow in faith, and to draw closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Scripture: Colossians 2:14
Topics: New Testament, Old Testament
The modern mind doesn't like to submit to authority, but if you don't recognize Jesus's authority, you don't recognize Jesus.
Three weeks ago we left off of our series on the early ministry of Jesus as he was walking out of his home town, Nazareth, very much alone, having been violently rejected by the people of the synagogue where he grew up. What a tragic story. We don’t know that he ever went back. If you missed ...read more
Scripture: Luke 4:31-37
This is the last in a series on the Heroes of Faith from Hebrews 11. It looks at Jesus as author and perfecter of our faith. It is expository.
Conclusion Jesus Let us look only to Jesus, the One who began our faith and who makes it perfect. — Hebrews 12:2 NCV Do you know who holds the record as the world’s best free-throw shooter?

Scripture: Proverbs 29:18
In our study of Luke, in the beginning of chapter 20 we find the religious leaders desparate to discredit Jesus and they openly challenge His authority!
Read Luke 20:1-8… Set the stage: Chapter 20 continues the final week of Jesus, after He has entered Jerusalem and after He has made a scene in His clearing of the Temple and chided the money changers and crooked business practices that took place in the Temple! On a side note, when Jesus ...read more

As the family of God, our hearts and lives must support and love and help and hold up our spiritual leaders.
1. The Bible has a lot to say about what it takes to be that spiritual man, that spiritual woman that will be used of God to be leaders in the Church of Jesus Christ. a. As a church, we’ve studied many of these passages like Exodus 18 & the books of 1-2 Timothy & Titus. b. The ingredients are ...read more

God puts us in this world with a small subset of the human race to begin relating to. Our parents are the first representatives of fallen humanity that we meet and our first model for authority figures that we’ll meet later in life.
Introduction Jesus said that the commandments are summed up in the dual command, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and your neighbour as yourself." Well today we come to the fifth commandment. This seems to be about loving your neighbour, but it’s one of the ...read more

All of us have driven through neighborhoods and noticed that many of the houses are built with carports - some even with double carports - to park their cars out of the bad weather.
In many of these homes, from the street you see the garage doors are open, and you immediately come to the conclusion there is no way they could park a car in there because they are filled with what looks like junk. It is even dangerous to walk into some of these carports because you might get ...read more

Having instructed Timothy on relationships with widows and elders, now Paul addressed relationships between slaves and masters. Paul emphasized the importance of submission and obedience so that God's Word will be held in high esteem.
Introduction: A. The relationship between bosses and employees can be fodder for many jokes and most of them are not too funny! (Especially if you are the boss) 1.
