Current Series
As we begin the new year, the first sermon series will take our attention to the Scriptures and what they have to say about authority within the church. During these four weeks, we will first look at the contrast between the world’s view and use of authority, and the view and use of authority defined in Scripture and exemplified in Christ. After this, we will look at the three different human authorities of the church as seen in the New Testament: The Congregation, the Elders, and the Deacons.
