More Benefits of Spiritual Authority, by Tom Passo

Stating that the subject of spiritual authority should be expanded even more, guest speaker Tom Passo fills in for Pastor Andy by drawing insights from the account of Moses in the wilderness with the Israelites to show how spiritual authority benefits the body of Christ.  

The 9 Benefits of Spiritual Authority

The Protestant Reformation ushered in an era of renewed freedom from ecclesiastical control and abuse of spiritual authority.  But the Reformation also afforded the enemy of our souls the opportunity to plant subtle seeds of distrust and disdain for authority in the Church.  This has ultimately resulted in a splintering of what used to be one united Church into an entity with more than 30,000 separate denominations.  This teaching goes back to the basics of what the Bible says about spiritual authority in the Church and how that benefits you, and also borrows from the practices of the First Century Church.  

Understanding Kingdom Authority

If God's people are to understand the beauty of submission, we must also understand the concept of authority from God's perspective and how His Kingdom is designed to function.  

Honor in the Home, 2

Continuing with the subject of honoring one another in the home, this teaching dissects the dynamics of 1 Peter 3:1-7, and in doing so also deals with the difficulties of different kinds of personalities and how they are to relate to one another in the marriage setting.  

Honor in the Home

Continuing with the subject of submission means that we have to grapple with the politically incorrect subject of hierarchy in the home and how that looks from a Biblical perspective. Since 60% of marriages now end in divorce, and the larger percentage of the ones that stay together are not happy, we definitely have something to learn from the Scriptures on the subject of marriage and honor in the home.  

It Wasn't about the Manger

While the birth of Jesus is certainly worth celebrating, the truth is that His life and ministry wasn't about the manger.  That was just the starting place.  This teaching elaborates on what His real mission was, and how we can really know that Jesus is indeed "Immanuel": God with us.  

The "S" Word, pt 2: Honor Your Father and Mother

In today's society the sacred role of parenting is minimized and mocked.  But God takes the issue of respect for parental authority about as seriously as any subject in the entire Bible.  Find out why and just how seriously in this teaching by Pastor Andy.
