    Accountability To The Next Level Of Authority

    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Feb 26, 2019
     | 6,015 views

    Many decisions that we must make in our lives are based on our accountability to someone. No matter how much we like to think we are own our own, the fact remains, we must give account to someone.

    ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF AUTHORITY I. INTRODUCTION: As a teacher, I must enforce the rules of the school. Not always do I enjoy this portion of my job. In fact, this responsibility is often a dreaded one. We are teachers who often must perform in the role of a patrol officer. ...read more

    Are You Set "Under Authority"?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 19, 2016
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,630 views

    Most Christians truly want to live the kind of life that Jesus requires but often find it difficult to do so. Why? They don't understand what it means to be in submission? This is something Jesus understood and we need to also.

    Are You “Set Under Authority”? We know that Jesus operated in faith. He had complete trust in who he was as God’s Son and he knew that all of the resources of Heaven were available to him. If we have the same life in us that Jesus has in him, then why do we not have complete ...read more

    Paul's Authority

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Feb 2, 2021
     | 1,414 views

    This sermon was the first one of a series on the book of Ephesians. It unpacks the first two verses. Specifically Paul's authority to write the letter, and the value of the specific recipients of the letter (i.e., who Paul would refer to as "Saints)."

    Good morning. We are beginning a new series on the book of Ephesians called The Church in Christ and the Church in Culture. In case you are not familiar with the book of Ephesians, it is actually a letter that the apostle Paul wrote to the church that he founded in the ancient city of Ephesus. ...read more

    Through His obedience He is made the author of eternal life to all who obey Him.

    The Reason We Submit To Authority Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 15, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,764 views

    Obedience that originates from this kind of fear of penalty is not true obedience. That is the reason why the apostle Paul exhorts us in Romans 13:5, that our obedience must stem from our conscience and not because we fear the consequences of disobedience.

    The Reason We Submit to Authority In Romans 13:5 we read, “We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.” (WNT) All of us are familiar with the principle that if we don’t obey rules and submit to those in authority, we will get punished, and ...read more

    Bible Authority For Salvation- Baptism Series

    Contributed by Robert Webb on Sep 19, 2021
     | 2,180 views

    Bible Authority for Salvation- Baptism The subject of Baptism is often a controversial subject among denominations when it deal with salvation. Does the Bible not have an authoritative process to make this easy? I believe it answers all questions that we have. What does the bible say about baptism?

    The subject of Baptism is often a controversial subject among denominations when it deal with salvation. There have been disagreements over who is to be baptized- infants or adults. Disagreements over how people should be baptized, by sprinkling, pouring water over one’s head or immersing ...read more

    Life Quest

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Jun 2, 2011
     | 3,074 views

    Our LIFE QUEST is one of building lives of obedience (MSG, 2Cor 10:6). Many of us have learned that the more obedient we are to God’s authority the more we grow like Him, the closer we get to Him and the better life is because of Him.

    LIFE QUEST Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, MSG Text: Verse 6 – “Building lives of obedience into maturity” (All other references are quoted from NASB unless otherwise stated) A boy had been disobedient.

    We want to understand as Christians that Jesus Christ fundamentally has authority over our lives. What does authority mean? Authority is power, control, influence. My life is not my own, my life belongs to God. God has authority over me.

    In my feeble mind, there are some perplexing things in the word of God that do not measure up. Logically speaking, from the human standpoint I have some disagreements with God. God and I do not see eye to eye on several issues. I

    Who's In Control Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 25, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,380 views

    We as humans have a hard time giving up control of anything, but in order to find the abundant life Jesus offers, we must cede authority of our lives to Him, even if that means going into choppy waters.

    We began last time by looking at Jesus as He came down from giving the Sermon on the Mount. He begins to demonstrate that it isn’t all talk—that He really is the coming King and controls His creation, both the visible and invisible. We see Him first approached by two people who really have no ...read more
