The Authority of Jesus

Weekly Memory Verse: "And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.' " - Matthew 28:18

Sermon Scripture Reading: Isaiah 35

-THIS SUNDAY'S SERMON-

Dear River Family,

Read Matthew 7:28 - 8:17. When Jesus finished teaching His sermon on the mount, it says that the crowds were astonished because He was teaching them as one who had authority, and this was much different from their scribes. The crowds will continue to follow Jesus and discover that not only did Jesus speak with authority but He exercised authority in many areas, aspects of life on earth.

What did Jesus exercise authority over? Why did Jesus exercise His authority? What is revealed about Jesus in that He exercised such authority?

Lord willing, this Sunday we will focus on Faith in Jesus (the one who has authority), Jesus' exercise of His authority (display of Compassion, Power, and Glory), A shadow of the gospel of Jesus, and Proof that Jesus is the Christ.

I am looking forward to growing in Christ and worshipping Him with you this Sunday.

Grace and Peace, Eric
