God's View of a Woman
1GEN 2:21MAT 28:1LUK 8:1LUK 23:49LUK 23:55JHN 4:1ACT 1:14GAL 3:28Frank Viola preaches about the revolutionary view of women brought by Jesus Christ, contrasting it with the low societal status women had before His coming. He highlights how Jesus interacted with and elevated women, showing them love, respect, and honor, contrary to the prevailing cultural norms. Viola emphasizes that in God's eyes, women are valued, cherished, and essential, as seen through Jesus' actions, teachings, and relationships with women throughout His ministry.
The Lord Jesus Christ and Authority
1MAT 20:25MAT 28:18EPH 5:211PE 5:1Frank Viola delivers a powerful sermon on hierarchical leadership structures, contrasting the Roman model of top-down authority with Jesus Christ's teachings on servant leadership and liberation. Viola emphasizes that Jesus condemned the dominating and controlling nature of hierarchical leadership, advocating instead for setting people free and serving others. He highlights how Peter, in his letter to the churches, warns against elders lording over the flock and emphasizes the importance of humility, mutual submission, and being examples to the congregation.
The Three Gospels
11CO 1:4GAL 5:1EPH 1:3EPH 2:8COL 3:12Frank Viola preaches about the two common tribes among believers: the libertines who have a shallow relationship with God and the legalists who add man-made rules to Scripture. He contrasts these with Paul's gospel, which focuses on the believer's identity in Christ and the spiritual reality of being a new creation. Paul's gospel emphasizes that the Christian life is about becoming who you are in Christ, not about striving to meet moral standards. Viola highlights the importance of understanding and embracing the gospel of grace that sets believers free from the bondage of legalism and libertinism.
