    Luke 4:31-41 - What Authority Really Looks Like

    Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 12, 2024
     | 1,138 views

    The authority of Jesus teaching caused the demons to reveal themselves in protest. The authority of Jesus' command causes sickness to immediately cease. How does that same authority operate in the lives of believers today?

    Today we're going to deal with two topics that can be somewhat controversial within the church: the demonic and healing. We're going to dive into the Word of God, lay some proper foundation today, and let's pray first because that's where we need to go. Father, we come before You. ...read more

     | 2,598 views

    The Scriptures are the inspired, authentic self-revelation of God and as such have primary and foundational authority in all matters of what we believe, what we value, and how we live.

    Last week we focused on the purpose of the Scriptures: what are they for and why should we bother getting ourselves acquainted with them? We learned the Bible is God’s self-revelation that pulls back the curtain for us to know who God is, who we are, the purpose of our lives, and the destiny of the ...read more

    As we continue our series through Mark, I want us to see why it is important to allow Jesus to have authority over your decisions, your possessions and your life. For if we are going to be the “little Christ”; it will be because we recognize the authority

    What kind of faith does it take to turn the head of Jesus? The Roman officer had it and so can we.

    Last week we were introduced to Levi who changed his name to Matthew. As you recall Levi meant “joined in harmony” but as a tax collector he was unable to live up to his name. After Jesus made him the offer to become a follower he referred to himself as Matthew, meaning “a gift to ...read more

    In 5 sentences, John gives us a wonderful picture of who Jesus is and what He came to do. He came with a message of hope, from the place where hope is eternal, so that we may know His Father and the love that is provided free if we will accept it.

    Jesus is Life and Light John 1:1-5 - Happy Mother’s Day to our mom’s! -- Today as we begin our study of the book of John, we will see eternal love -- That same love is what allows you to love your children so unselfishly -- We give thanks for you, and thanks to the Lord for what He ...read more

    The Word tells us to speak to the mountain and it will move. Our words are powerful and we will get what we say. Therefore, you want to speak life not death.

    What you say is critical to your walk and to those around you. God created the earth and everything in it by the Spoken Word and the Holy Spirit. Jesus was raised from the dead by the Holy Spirit. You and I have that same Holy Spirit with the same authority as they did at that time. If you can wrap ...read more

    Ephiphany 4 (B). Casting out an unclean spirit at the synagogue in Capernaum, Christ reveals that he has authority over the unseen. Therefore we may trust Him to protect us from the devil and all forces of evil.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Because He says so” In our Gospel today, Jesus continues on His ministry. You will recall that He has called His disciples to follow Him. ...read more
