    Authority And The Fear Of God

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 24, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,744 views

    Matthew 8 demonstrates Jesus’ authority in miracles and ministry. Jesus’ words and works show us the depth and extent of His authority. Our call is to walk under that suthority as we hear and heed his instruction.

    Matthew 7 ends with the amazement of the crowds who heard Jesus teachings. They observed that Jesus spoke with authority and not as their teachers of the law or scribes. We noticed several passages last week about the fear of the Lord and its importance to our lives as Christians. Without the ...read more

    it can be hard to see what something really is, so we have to back up and look at what it really is and what its really trying to say. we have to do that with scripture too.

    God Is Not The Author Of Confusion

     | 2,666 views

    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

    Law Enforcement: To Protect And To Serve

     | 14,884 views

    There is a wind of confrontation blowing between law enforcement and the public in our society. There are some bad police officers, but a majority of them are good and out to protect us. Today, we invite them to worship with us and to pray for them.

    TO SERVE AND TO PROTECT Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring ...read more

    A word we don't like is submission. We certainly don't like it when we feel as if we're being wronged somehow. “Submission” is the key ingredient that enables a Christian to live a good life among the ungodly!

    I’m confident that in the years that follow, there will be plenty of articles and books written about this chapter in world history and in church history. And they will address the question, “what lessons did we learn from all of this?” And I’m confident that much of that will be helpful. Looking ...read more

    We are commanded to pray for all people, even for kings. Were the people of God to obey this command, we could change our world, and in the process, honour God.

    “I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

    The Conflict Between Church And Secular States

    God said both Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus were His "servants." One brought national ruin; the other brought restoration. We need to trust that whoever is leading - king, prime minister, president - that God has placed them for a reason.

    Leading up to the presidential election, we all had a favorite candidate whom we desired to win; someone who would represent our values. We envisioned how he would bring about prosperity and freedom to our nation; but if he lost, we envisioned the end of the world. Anyone of any political party ...read more
