    The Authority Of Our Will

    Contributed by Mark Baker on Jan 4, 2010
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,647 views

    God gave man the ultimate authority to do whatever they wanted to do. In this sense He made us just like Him, we have the power of choice. It is always in our best interest when we choose to do what He has told us to do.

    From the very beginning we can see that God has given man a free choice. Adam and Eve were disobedient against God’s specific commandment. The result for them was spiritual death and eventually physical death. Why didn’t God stop them from this disobedient act knowing full well the outcome? He ...read more

    His Word says He will never leave us or forsake us. He is always there assisting, encouraging, leading, comforting, giving direction, and disciplining, as needed.

    Hebrews 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. One translation says author and prefecter of our faith. Another translation says our ...read more

    Spiritual Authority

    After three and a half years of teaching these disciples, Jesus was bringing His teaching to a critical point: His followers are to exercise the authority He was giving them, by the working of their faith.

    In Matthew 21:1-11, we see Jesus riding into Jerusalem on the back of a young donkey that had never before been ridden. People were putting their cloaks in the pathway, as well as laying down palm branches, and that’s why we call the Sunday before Easter, “Palm Sunday.” Palm Sunday begins a ...read more

    This sermon is about claiming and living with the authority that God gives us in Jesus Christ!

    By What Authority? Serm0931 Rev. Scott A. Bradford Mat 21:23-32 3-20-11 Uvalde 2nd Lent Comedian George Carlin (of whom I am not a fan, and often think he is either vulgar or brash) once said “I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don’t have as many people who believe ...read more

    The Hero's Authority Series

    Wanting to do something and actually being able to do it are two entirely different things. Jesus may have been introduced as the ultimate action hero but without action it's just a good sound bite. In this study the hero demonstrates His authority and ab

    It is one thing to claim you can do something and it’s quite another to actually accomplish it. When I was four years old, like a lot of kids my age, I was enamored with Mighty Mouse. One day I remember grabbing a blanket and running around the neighborhood with it wrapped around my neck like ...read more

    To help God's people realize in a deeper and greater sense what we have and often are not useing. To encourage all to use what we have at our disposal.

    THE AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER INTRO: A. The word authority is used thirty-seven times beginning in Easter 9:29 – Revelation 13:2. a. It means the power or right to give commands, enforce obedience, take action or make final decisions. b. This authority or power is delegated by someone to ...read more

    Lawful Authority Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 25, 2011
     | 3,911 views

    Some authority is built into the fabric of God's very creation, and our response to earthly authority - whether we wield it or submit to it - reflects our acceptance of God's authority.

    Many scholars and preachers treat today's passage as an extension of last week's exhortation for husbands and wives to submit to one another. They call the section between chapter 5 verse 21 and chapter 6 verse 9 "house codes." Paul almost certainly drew from well-known early Christian teachings ...read more

    Our authority for faith and practise is the written Word of God. This becomes the standard by which we conduct our lives.

    “As for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

    Contributed by Antonio Silveira on Feb 12, 2011
     | 7,239 views

    Paul is talking about the way some people questioned the way himself and other men of God were being paid by the Church. Questioning about administration is something natural.

    1 Corinthians 9:1-9 1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord? 2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 This is my defense to those who would examine me. 4 Do ...read more

    The religious leaders questioned Jesus' authority. We know Jesus has authority, but does he really have authority over us?

    Matthew 21:23-32 "Authority Issues" INTRODUCTION God is a God of abundance and diversity. Looking around the worship area, it is obvious that we are very different people. We like to make things easy, though, so we often condense our diversity down to the basic essentials and say that there ...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

    In the Bible we see the authority of Jesus being questioned regarding the clearing of the temple. What authority does Jesus have in your life when it comes to getting rid of things that Jesus would like to remove?

    Mark 11:27-33 (Please open your Bibles so you can read along) (Briefly describe the following from Mark 11) Jesus arrives at the Jerusalem late in the day and walks around looking at everything. Because it is late He goes to Bethany for the night. Coming back the next morning He “began driving ...read more

    Jesus is God in the flesh. He wants us to believe in Him and for people to submit to His authority with genuine faith.

    “The Authority of Jesus” John 2:18-25 One Sunday a visitor showed up: - to a more formal, liturgical church - than he was used to attending.
