One Church with Greg Ford

Greg lays out the multiple definitions of the word Authority or "Exousia" in Hebrew, and how Jesus is the ultimate authority and perfect theology. Everything and everyone we encounter should be looked at through the lens of Christ and the not the other way around.

Pastor Greg sets up the series we'll be in for the next 5 weeks by giving us a background of the Empire Mentality in scripture and how it shows up in characters like Pharaoh and King Herod. He also cautions us to make sure we're not letting that mentality creep into our lives as well.

Pastor Greg talks us through 2 different examples of Jesus' encounters with people and he highlights the difference between inviting someone intimately into your life and just having one encounter and moving on.

Pastor Greg teaches us that Jesus is often more patient than we would prefer Him to be. Sometimes he heals instantly and sometimes it's a slow therapeutic healing, either way He wants to be intimately involved with you.

Pastor Greg launches a new series called Cleaning House, in this message he shares how the Lord is not only willing to help us, but is eager to.

Pastor Greg wraps up the Sermon on the Mount by recapping the entire series and the highlights of what Jesus wants to us to learn from this teaching. Then Greg gives us a final message about building our lives on a firm foundation, and not on the "sand" of things that can be taken away from us.

Pastor Greg teaches us on the topic of using the Lord's name to justify our own desires rather than His, and how we can live confidently that our name is written in the book of life.

Pastor Greg explains that the Kingdom of God, as described in the Sermon on the Mount, isn't achievable just by random happenstance. It will take intentional effort and aiming at the goal that's set before us.

Pastor Greg tells us the importance of persistence when it comes to prayer and that just because we aren't getting the answer to the specific request we are praying for, doesn't mean we should stop asking. It may be time for a different question.
