    Faith

     | 11,072 views

    The text seems to suggest that the bearers of “Bad News” will always come, but the author of “Good News” is always in control. Jesus hears and ignores what others are saying. He has the last word. He is the author and finisher of our faith.

    One night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. The father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, “Jump! I’ll catch you.” He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, and blackness. As ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 17,812 views

    This is a sermon that reminds us that we should only operate in the authority that God has given us. When we begin to operate in the authority that God has not given us, we are no longer in our lane and that carries devastating consequences.

    Introduction Looking at how young people are performing in schools, in their communities, and even where they live, everybody wants to do their own thing. Respect and following rules is something that has become obsolete! Society has accepted the profane way lyrics of music is sung and how ...read more

    The authority God has given Jesus Christ to literally (and physically) judge and punish those who turn away from the Father now begins to show. Jesus is no longer the sacrificial lamb, but acts in righteousness with unmerciful authority.

    This study takes a look at the Ten Commandments from a New Testament perspective.

    Thou shalt not murder. The last five commandments are all directly related to how we should treat each other.
