    Luke 21:1-4 A Deeper Discussion Of Giving

    Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 10, 2024
     | 3,582 views

    The widow's offering. 4 verses, we often breeze through them and pull out a few tried and true statements about giving. But a deeper look gives many more principles to apply.

    Here's what I want us to see: this is part of a bigger story. This isn't just a talk about giving, but it's a continuation of what's been happening with the scribes and Pharisees. To fully understand this set of verses, we actually have to back up to the last couple of verses of ...read more

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

    Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 12, 2024
     | 1,201 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

     | 1,089 views

    Where is the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ today? What is the cost of preaching that message?

    Where is that message today? This is a two-fold message. First, the call to preach the Gospel. Second, the cost of preaching the Gospel.
