A Man Under Authority, Matt 8:9
The centurion in Matt 8 was a man under authority. Though, he had 100 soldiers under him, he spoke, not of his authority over them, but of himself under the authority of his superior officer. The Lord blessed this man’s faith and healed his servant. In our lives we have authorities: Biblical (obey God), Parental […]
Your Thoughts And Ways, Is 55:7-9

We have recently visited a country in Africa steeped in idolatry. In this sermon from Jer 44:15-19, we will see several things about people steeped in idolatry.

The Doctrine of the Resurrection
The doctrine of the resurrection is not a doctrine that began with Jesus Christ but it is definitely a doctrine that was fulfilled in Jesus. The resurrection is basically the doctrine that reverses the physical effects of the sin of Adam – the result of his sin was death [Rom 5:12; Gen 3:19] and corruption […]
