Today in our second part of our true power for living sermon we return to the gospel of Mark to find Jesus' authority being challenged at every turn as He approaches His final days. His answers are profound and give believers great tools to apply to their love. If you place Jesus as the ultimate authority in your life, you will find power in these lessons He teaches us today. Sermon Outline @ http...

Jesus lists several areas where His power enables Christians to do what is counter intuitive to human nature and cultural pressures. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48881038

Pride is one of the greatest destroyers of our faith. Mankind has always struggled to live apart from God since the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. The fall occurred due to mankind's desire to place its own will above God’s authority. On this Easter Sunday we celebrate the authority of Jesus. The authority that was earned by His sacrifice and proven by His resurrection. Sermon Outline...

The name of Jesus has the power to move us to live a life that brings glory to Him and help others to find Him. Also, it reveals our hearts and true intentions. The power to move mountains is found in His name. Our job is to give Him first priority in our lives, seek Him and serve others, just like He did. This brings true power. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48874174

There is a correlation between determination and faith. One empowers the other. It is a test of our will and proof of God's blessings! Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48869184

Companies spend billions of dollars advertising things you “need” to have a more fulfilled life. Christians and Non-Believers alike take their messages to heart. Many work more hours while sacrificing their time with God, Family, Friends and for themselves to get more. It’s a vicious cycle. Jesus warns us in today’s passage to not let those things that you own, own you. Realize the destructive pow...

The actions and attitudes we bring to our worship experiences dictate their impact on our lives and those we lead. God is the one true God who gives us the privilege of worshiping Him. We must approach Him with excitement, thankfulness, reverence and gratitude. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48863200

Traditions are deeply held habits and beliefs that we hold on to for guidance, comfort and remembrance of the good old days. Tradition becomes very dangerous when we ignore God's word and hurt others to keep it. You cannot posture as a believer but not have a lifestyle that backs it up. Jesus calls out the fakes and encourages true believers to be pure. Power is found in purity! Sermon Outline @ h...

Many times we think that we do not have enough or need more of something in order to serve God and do His will. The truth is, Jesus has all the power to use, bless and multiply what we have! Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48819126

Christmas is a time to celebrate the greatest gift God has ever given to us. A Savior who is Christ our Lord. From the beginning of creation, God has set into motion a plan for your redemption, a path to return to Him. Come and see your Savior's birth and tell the world about Him! Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48811575

God has a plan for your redemption. This plan cost God dearly but it benefits you eternally if you choose to accept it. For the month of December we celebrate the moments leading up to the birth of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ! Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48808518

Everyone would like to think that they would make the right decisions when the time comes but you never know until it happens. Some decisions are easy while others are made under extreme pressure. Each decision has its own reaction. Making godly decisions is more important than ever in today’s culture. You and I must be sure we have the power to make them! Sermon Notes @ http://bible.com/events/48...

The temptation for Christians to resist and even out-right reject Jesus is real. Some resist Him because they have yet to believe in Him while others resist Him out of fear of what He may ask of them. While there are real consequences for rejecting Jesus, there are more benefits of answering His call. All of us at some point will answer the call of Jesus to follow Him. Rejecting or following that...

Desperation can lead you to reach out to Jesus for help and healing. Desperation can be a building block to a stronger faith in Jesus if you yield to Him. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48793315

The same power that cast out the evil demons from this man, also enabled him to share his story with his family and many others who had yet to believe in Jesus. As a person changed by Jesus' power, will you share your story? Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48788891

Each person chooses what power they claim in their daily lives. Some look to Jesus while others look to themselves, others, even evil. Everyone needs power to make it through this world, but know that some power sources seek to take from you, rather than build you up. Jesus’ power was misunderstood by many as we see in today’s scripture. How do you understand Jesus’ power today? Sermon Outline @ h...

Life has a way of reminding all of us that regardless of how strong our faith in God is or how strong we are as a person, tests have a way of humbling us. Every believer has been commissioned by Jesus to share the gospel. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48782086

Last week you learned from verses 1 through 10 that there is a danger in worshiping idols and false gods because you believe that our one true God is taking too long. When you put God on the shelf in favor of other things, He does not like it. When you give other things credit for what God alone is doing in our life He does not like that either. The result of worshiping idols (even ourselves) make...

The golden calf represents the sin of man wanting to control God rather than man giving over control of himself. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48774332

It is very easy to get discouraged in today’s time. There seems to be an absolute rejection of God, ownership of sin and a desire to live a holy life. Be encouraged in the fact that times have always been tough and through it all, God has been and will forever be in total control. Today we learn the best thing we can do for ourselves and those we love is to fear God and be happy. Sermon Outline @...

God calls every believer to join Him in His plan for redemption of this world through His Church. Christians are not called to get all the benefits from God, yet not serve Him. This world is under attack by the evil one and it’s time for His children to rise and fight on His behalf. Will you fight the good fight or go AWOL? Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48763669

Paul gives Christians a look at the practical application of yielding to the Holy Spirit to control your actions and relationships. The application of our faith in our conduct with others is crucial to sharing the gospel. Not only do we need to know about Jesus, we need to treat others as He would. Believers must live under the control of the Holy Spirit. Sermon outline @ http://bible.com/events/4...

Every believer who wears the name of Jesus wherever they go has an obligation to show others the difference He makes in one's life. Fitting in with everybody else was never in God's plan. Jesus lived a different life so that we may model that for others. People don't need believers who live in darkness. They need to see believers in the church who reflect the light of Christ in their speech, actio...

Paul continues his plea for the church of Ephesus to be an example for those who are lost and hurting by living out their faith in front of them. God has called every Christian to take the responsibility of living a life of integrity seriously. We are to live as Children of the light and Jesus is the light of the world! The darker this world becomes, the brighter our light for Christ will shine if...

The same God that saved you has a plan for your life. A plan for you to love and serve Him and love others through the work of His church. He has given you gifts and opportunities. The door is open, but you must walk through it. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48746912
