Authority And The Fear Of God

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 24, 2010

Matthew 8 demonstrates Jesus’ authority in miracles and ministry. Jesus’ words and works show us the depth and extent of His authority. Our call is to walk under that suthority as we hear and heed his instruction.

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

A Home Built By God Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 26, 2020

One could imagine the book of Ruth ending with - "They lived happily ever after." However, this account is not a children's story of fairy tale. In fact, it is part of the scarlet thread that runs through the Old Testament, leading to the birth of our Savior.

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 20, 2025

Isaiah demonstrates a very unique position in chapters 63 and 64 as he pleads with God to hear, forgive, and rescue His people. Why? Because he knew that there is no way we (as a creation) could be forgiven without God’s (the Creator's) direct intervention.

Take The Plank Out Of Your Eye

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jan 27, 2014

Before we start speaking to an unbeliever, we need to pray, often in secret without saying a word to the person we are praying for in our prayer closet.
