There are several powerful lessons to be learned through this discussion of Jesus authority in the Gospel of Mark. We can be quick, like the Pharisees, and assume we acknowledge Gods authority, but is it really the case? Does he have all your living?

Based on the theme established by James 1:26-27, we are admonished to bridle our tongue in two forms: confirming speech (assist the destitute) and comforting speech The post Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

By what authority? the Pharisees questioned Christ which begins a lengthy defense of His authority from the Temple cleansing to the widows mite. Human nature has not changed as we are prone to challenge Gods authority in our life also.  The post Mark 11:23-12:12 appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

Do you have Plan B? You know if living for God or waiting on Gods timing does not seem to be working, then you have your fallback plan, right? Ask Moses how that works once you have a first-degree manslaughter on your record. Ask Abraham how great his Plan B worked once he had another son and turmoil in the home. God is ready to dispense the wisdom you need in the trial you face, but you must ask in faith. If you doubt for a moment, you have made room for the progression of lust and sin and death.  The post I Did It My Way appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

In this study, you will find one of the most striking contrasts in all of Scripture. Often these two stories are preached separately, but by pitting one against the other you will see the tremendous and endearing truth of denying yourself, taking up the cross, and following Christ.

You shouldn’t get the “cart before the horse,” but we often do. Every believer shares in the responsibility to spread the message of the gospel throughout their Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and uttermost parts of the earth. Before you launch out in your own strength, take a moment for inspection. Listen to the necessary component for effectively staying on mission.

Why is the resurrection so important? Without it, our worship, even our life, would be purposeless. The post The Importance of the Resurrection appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

Promises are broken all the time, so natural skepticism is understandable. If we are to rest confidently in the promises of the Bible, we should examine if God is a promise-keeping God. Listen as we discover a few critical promises from Gods Word. In the end, a persons decision to trust God is not about the evidence. It is about their heart.

The poor fig tree teaches us about the flurry of fans in Jerusalem during Christs triumphant entrance and how we can have the flourish of leaves in our life but lack the fruit.  The post Mark 11:1-22 appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

God, as the most loving Father, trains His children so they can partake of His holiness which enables them to see the Living God and Judge of all instead of being consumed by His holiness. The post Training for Eternity appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

The story of faith continues with present-day followers of Christ. We have a race set before us. Keeping our eyes fixed on Christ, we run for the pleasure of His presence through the rigor of obedience. The post Run the Race appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

Jesus Christ serves double-duty as the indestructible High Priest and the ultimate sacrifice. The IOU of the old covenant accumulated until the redemption by the shedding His precious blood. Having the freedom of access to God, we ought to enter with a pure conscience, endure with a persistent confidence, and engage with a provoking consistency lest we experience the chastening hand of God.

David delighted to build a Temple to honor God. Why then would he dream of its replacement by “a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek”? The old covenant stymied David’s personal desire to draw near to God. Jesus was the prophesied priest who saves “to the uttermost” which allows you to “draw nigh unto God.” The post Help Wanted appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.
