about authority and assembly beyond Sunday morning s6e157 54:46

1h ago54:46

54:46

We have a good listener question for today's episode. How do we deal with folk who make the argument that only meeting once per week on Sunday is commanded in the Bible so all other assemblies are optional. These folk typically do not attend any other service of the Lord's church except for Sunday. The Bible has an answer and that is what we will l…

Words matter. With that in mind we will look at a passage of Scripture that I hear reference often yet it is grossly misapplied. We are not ambassadors as Paul used the term in 2 Corinthians 5:20.

about serving God s6d139 41:07

Christianity today seems to be more cruise control that actual activism. It seems that we like to gather and talk a big talk and even pray for God to do work. Well, there is still so much more to do.
