    Are You Set "Under Authority"?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 19, 2016
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,632 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

    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

    The Reason We Submit To Authority Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 15, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,765 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
     | 2,181 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

    Of Truth And Authority - Introduction To Titus Series

    Contributed by Warren Bird on Jan 14, 2003
    based on 35 ratings
     | 5,372 views

    Why should we believe the New Testament? Paul’s introduction in his letter to Titus gives important teaching about the source of his authority as a teacher of God’s message and helps us to understand the New Testament as God’s inspired Word.

    Introduction The media love crises. Situations where something is going wrong; someone has mucked up; or someone has to be sent into a situation to fix it up make really good copy. Well, if you’re the sort of person who buys the newspaper or watches ‘A Current Affair’ to learn about the latest ...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.

    The God whom we worship is the God of all creation, the King of kings and Lord of Lords. In this we can take hope that God answer our prayers, move in our lives and establish God’s will.

    Matthew 8:5-13 “Creation Under God’s Authority” INTRODUCTION Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all of our prayers were answered immediately, specifically, and completely? No more aspirin.

    The second part of Are You Authorized studying those who are authorized to do the work of God.

    Last week we talk about being authorized to do the things of God.

We also discussed the punishment for such actions. Tonight we are ...read more
