     | 5,653 views

    Diotrephes was a trouble maker trying to run the church. Paul tells Gaius he will deal with him when he comes. Peace is possible in spite of those who love to be first.

     | 12,024 views

    As Jesus spoke with the disciples during the Olivet Discourse, He revealed that He would surely come again. Many deny and reject it, but the Lord will return as He said.

    The Second Coming Matthew 24: 23-31 Jesus has revealed much about the events leading up to His return and the difficulties associated with the Tribulation. Our text today focuses on the time when the Tribulation will be coming to an end and the Lord makes His glorious return to earth. His second ...read more

    Authority In The Synagogue Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 1, 2017
     | 12,363 views

    Jesus possesses great wisdom and authority regarding the Word, and He also possesses authority over all creation, humanity, and Satan himself. We face nothing our Lord cannot handle. His power and authority are unmatched and unlimited.

    Authority in the Synagogue Mark 1: 21-28 As we continue moving through the Gospel of Mark, bear in mind that he is writing primarily to a Roman audience, seeking to portray Jesus as the Servant of Men. It is a dialogue that moves rapidly from one event to the next. The fast pace, with which Mark ...read more
