    Unleashing Authority And Identity In Christ

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Mar 25, 2021
     | 7,000 views

    Now it is impossible to activate authority without having a recognized identity. Since authority organizes and drives itself through our accepted identity.

Even now, the world is looking up to the average believer to proffer ...read more

     | 5,453 views

    We may be citizens of a certian country or state, but our membership of the Kingdom of God is more important, and should take priority over all our other allegiances.

    The two kingdoms - Matthew 22:15-22 Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and from our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen. Do you remember the Frank Sinatra song: ‘Strangers in the night’. I can’t remember how the words go, but it is about two people who pass each other and no ...read more

    What would we do if our country ever came under siege by a foreign nation that did not believe in God? How could we practice our faith, and how could we live according to biblical principles?

    I have entitled our message this morning “Serving in Captivity,” as we’ll be examining the events surrounding the Babylonian captivity of 587 B.C. What would we, as believers, do if our country ever came under siege by a foreign nation that did not believe in God or His Son, Jesus Christ? How ...read more

    To the Jewish people, the Greatest men of the Old Testament were Moses, David, and Elijah, and they expected the Messiah to be like all three of these men in some ways. Jesus proved Himself greater than them all.

    Who Kicked Jesus Out Of Politics? Theocracy And Democracy.

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jul 16, 2016
     | 5,032 views

    Today the neglect of the Bible and of God in society is evident. The separation of Church and state was originally designed to protect both Church and state, but is now used to subjugate any influence of God in politics?

    WHO KICKED JESUS OUT OF POLITICS? Theocracy and Democracy. DEMOCRACY We get what we ask for, but for Australia it seems we don’t really know what that is. Australia voted and it seems no-one really likes any particular party. The common definition of democracy is “government of the ...read more

     | 2,484 views

    Bob Dylan famously wrote, "But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody." As disciples of Jesus, we must choose daily who gets to be king in our life. Which king do you follow?

    * Squeeze to the last drop: The manager at the local pub had what he considered to be the world’s strongest man working as his bouncer.

     | 4,580 views

    When the U. S. Government tries to force religious entities to choose between our faith and their mandates, we have to choose God every time.

    Federal Control –a Christian’s Reaction. Illustration The young missionary arrived early in the morning at a native village where he was to share the word of God through an interpreter. The fellowship meeting would not take place until the next day so the missionary was given time to ...read more
