Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jun 11, 2023

Jesus is the promised Son/King from Psalm 2, and has awesome authority over people’s lives, what people become, roles in the kingdom, over the Word of God, over evil, and over disease.

Authority We live in a culture that hates authority. Part of that comes from the natural, prideful, rebellious human heart. And part of it comes from the fact that so many of us have been under terrible authorities who abused their authority. But the truth is, life is most wonderful when you are ...read more

Ministering To The Sick

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 26, 2024
