The Sleeping Savior Series

Contributed by Leighton (Lee) Vary on Dec 27, 2016

Authority And The Fear Of God

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 24, 2010

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

They said they wanted to pray for me. What I didn't realise is that they wanted to pray for me to be their Pastor. At the end ...read more
