How can embracing the authority of Jesus Christ transform your life completely? Join me, Phil Duddy, as we unpack the profound messages found in the closing verses of Matthew chapter 28, where the resurrected Jesus meets His disciples on a mountain in Galilee. Despite the awe of witnessing His resurrection, doubt lingered among some disciples, an experience that we explore in-depth. Discover how Jesus' declaration of divine authority offers believers joy, confidence, and peace, and learn how submitting to Him can reconcile us, fill us with the Holy Spirit, and forge a personal relationship with the Savior who actively guides our lives.
NEW BOOK! I'm pleased to say that we have completed a new book that has been years in the making. The Ten Shirot: Songs of Redemption looks at ten songs that were sung through pivotal times in Scripture. It's an examination of the redemption of Jesus, of worship, and of Scripture in a way that we believe you probably haven't seen before. Check it out at https://a.co/d/0a4KIooL .

.
He has begun a good work in youand bless God, amen, glory and
(09:28):
hallelujah.
He is going to see that workthrough to completion, because
all power is given unto him inheaven and earth.
And that's the kind of God heis.
He's not a God who goes back onhis word.
He's not a God who says onething and does another.
He's not a God who says onething and does another.
He's not a God who forgets asingle promise that he ever made
(09:51):
to you or to anybody else.
He's that kind of Lord, he'sthat kind of King, he's that
kind of God.
And bless God and amen.
He is good to those who obeyhim today, and even those who do
not obey him today, even thosewho resist him today, even those
who hate him today, even thosewho rebel against him today,
(10:15):
even those who accuse him today,even those who twist his word
today, even those who do notobey him today, they have the
opportunity and, my friend, ifyou're in that number and you're
listening to this broadcast,you have an opportunity to obey
Jesus.
You have an opportunity tosubmit yourself to Jesus.
(10:38):
You have an opportunity toyield to Jesus.
You have an opportunity tobelieve Jesus.
You have an opportunity to callupon the name of Jesus.
You have an opportunity to besaved from the wrath of God.
You have an opportunity to callupon the name of Jesus.
You have an opportunity to besaved from the wrath of God.
You have an opportunity to beborn again.
You have an opportunity to getyour sin forgiven.
You have an opportunity to befilled with the Holy Ghost.
(10:58):
You have an opportunity becauseJesus is speaking to you today
and he's saying all power isgiven unto me in heaven and on
earth.
And bless God that'll ministerto a disciple.
Bless God that'll minister tothe church.
Bless God.
That will encourage the church,that will edify the church,
that will lift up the church,that will give the church
(11:20):
something to praise God about,something to be thankful for,
something to pray about,something to minister in,
something to move forward in.
That'll give the church anoccasion to have repentance, an
occasion to have fruitfulness,an occasion to have revival,
because the head of the church,jesus Christ himself and
(11:42):
scripture tells us he is thehead of the church, scripture
tells us he is the husband ofthe church and the church is his
bride and all power is givenunto him in heaven and on earth.
But even if you're not a memberof the church today, even if you
hate Jesus today, even if youresist Jesus today, even if you
mock Jesus today, even if youridicule Jesus today, even if
(12:04):
you accuse Jesus today, even ifyou accuse him and you hate his
church, oh, bless God, he stillspeaks to you Because the Lord
is merciful, because the Lordloves you, because the Lord
cares about you, even in themidst of your anger, even in the
midst of your hatred, even inthe midst of your fornication,
even in the midst of yourdrunkenness.
(12:25):
This same Jesus, who is king ofall kings, he is love and he
loves you and he knows you andhe ministers to you and he
showers you with mercy.
And you don't believe me thathe showers you with mercy.
Well, bless God, you're stillliving.
Bless God, you're stillbreathing.
Bless God, your heart is stillbeating.
Bless God, you still have theability to listen and the
(12:50):
ability to hear Jesus.
And, bless God, he's stilldrawing you today.
He is slow to anger.
Amen and hallelujah.
He is rich in mercy.
Amen and hallelujah.
And that's towards you today, nomatter what kind of sin you've
done, no matter what sin you'rein, no matter what kind of sin
that you are planning to do, heis with you today.
(13:10):
He knows about your heart, heknows about your mind, he knows
about your sin, he knows aboutyour wickedness.
He knows about all of that andyet he still speaks to you.
And he doesn't speak to you todestroy you.
See, he's speaking as a king,he's speaking as lord and he is
not speaking to destroy you.
(13:34):
If he was speaking to destroyyou, you would be destroyed
already.
If he was speaking to kill you,you'd be dead already.
If he was speaking to wipe youout, you'd be wiped out already,
because scripture tells us amenand hallelujah when his wrath
moves just a little bit, when hespeaks to you in his wrath,
(13:57):
just a little bit, nobody canwithstand that.
Nobody can withstand that.
So he has a wrath, yes, he hasa wrath of God, and hell is a
very, very real place.
My friend, I got to tell youthat today there is a real wrath
and there is a real hell.
And yet, if you're listening tothis today as a lost person,
you're listening to this todayas someone who doesn't like
(14:18):
Jesus doesn't want anything todo with him.
You're listening to this todayas someone who has heard this
before.
And you've rejected and you'vegone your way and you've had
your sin and you've rejected andyou've gone your way and you've
had your sin and you're livingin your sin and you're breathing
in your sin and you're movingin your sin and you're pursuing
your sin.
I'm here to tell you today thathe still loves you.
I'm here to tell you today thatthat wrath has not yet fallen
(14:44):
on your head, that wrath has notyet been poured out on you,
because when he speaks to youjust a little bit in his wrath,
there's none of us that canwithstand that, my friend.
But today he's speaking to youas a king, because he is a king.
He's speaking to you as asavior, because he is a savior.
(15:05):
He's speaking to you as thetruth, because he is the way,
the truth and the life.
He's speaking to you as thelamb who was slain and risen
again because, hallelujah andamen.
God put all of your sin ontohim and he put himself in your
place.
He put all of your sin on Jesusand Jesus Christ himself took
(15:29):
all of your sin upon himself andhe did it willingly, and
scripture tells us that no mantook his life from him, but he
laid it down.
He laid it down because thefather wanted a way to be
reconciled with you.
He wanted a way for your sin tobe forgiven and your sin to be
forgotten and your sin to becast into a sea of forgetfulness
(15:51):
, and for you to be separatedfrom your sin as far as east is
from the west.
He made a way for you to beadopted into his family.
He made a way for you to becomeone of his sons and one of his
daughters.
He made a way for you to beforgiven and to be set free from
the sin that is dragging youfurther and further into death.
(16:14):
And, my friend, if you're notset free from it, my friend, if
you keep on going with it, youare going to end up in the
devil's hell.
The wages of sin is death, myfriend.
The payment that you can expectto receive from your sin is
nothing but death.
But the gift of God to youtoday, the gift of God to
(16:35):
whosoever will believe him today, the gift of God to the worst
sinner among us today, iseternal life through Jesus
Christ, our Lord.
That's the kind of God he is,that's the kind of king he is,
that's the kind of authority heis.
He's the kind of king who isgood to his enemies, he shows
(16:58):
kindness to his enemies.
He's not just nice to hisenemies, but he shows kindness
to his enemies and he shows loveto his enemies.
And he shows love to hisenemies because who would die to
make an enemy into a friend?
Who among us, some among us andthe book of Romans tells us this
some among us would die for agood person.
(17:19):
We would die so that they couldlive.
But Jesus Christ died so thatthe worst of us, jesus Christ
died so that the murderer, jesusChrist died.
So that the thief, jesus Christdied.
So that the liar, Jesus Christdied.
So that the adulterer, jesusChrist died.
(17:40):
So that the drunk Jesus Christdied.
So that the addict, jesusChrist died.
So that the drunk Jesus Christdied.
So that the addict, jesusChrist died.
So that the blasphemer, jesusChrist died.
So that the idol worshiper,jesus Christ died, so that his
enemies could be forgiven.
Jesus Christ died so that hisenemies could be made into his
(18:02):
friends, enemies could be madeinto his friends.
Jesus Christ died so that youcould be reconciled to him and
that your sin would be dealtwith in a way that doesn't
involve your eternal damnationin hell.
Instead, god would be faithfuland just to forgive you because
you trusted in Jesus.
(18:23):
To forgive you because youtrusted in Jesus.
Jesus already died your death.
Jesus already took the wrath ofGod.
Jesus already died your deathand glory.
Hallelujah.
He's alive today and he isdrawing you today and he's
saying come unto me today.

My friend, but will you obey himtoday?
And, my friend, I need to tellyou this even if you refuse him
today, there will come a daywhere you will have to obey him,
because he has appointed a dayin which he will judge this
world in righteousness.
And on that final day, myfriend, even if you go through
(19:27):
this life raging against Jesus,even if you go through this life
proud against Jesus, even ifyou go through this life
resisting Jesus until your lastbreath, there will come a day
when every tongue will bow,every knee will bow and every
tongue will confess that JesusChrist is Lord to the glory of
God, the Father, even yours.
(19:49):

(10:15):
even those who accuse him today,even those who twist his word
today, even those who do notobey him today, they have the
opportunity and, my friend, ifyou're in that number and you're
listening to this broadcast,you have an opportunity to obey
Jesus.
You have an opportunity tosubmit yourself to Jesus.
(10:38):
You have an opportunity toyield to Jesus.
You have an opportunity tobelieve Jesus.

(10:58):
You have an opportunity becauseJesus is speaking to you today
and he's saying all power isgiven unto me in heaven and on
earth.
And bless God that'll ministerto a disciple.
Bless God that'll minister tothe church.
Bless God.
That will encourage the church,that will edify the church,
that will lift up the church,that will give the church
(11:20):
something to praise God about,something to be thankful for,
something to pray about,something to minister in,
something to move forward in.
That'll give the church anoccasion to have repentance, an
occasion to have fruitfulness,an occasion to have revival,
because the head of the church,jesus Christ himself and
(11:42):
scripture tells us he is thehead of the church, scripture
tells us he is the husband ofthe church and the church is his
bride and all power is givenunto him in heaven and on earth.
But even if you're not a memberof the church today, even if you
hate Jesus today, even if youresist Jesus today, even if you
mock Jesus today, even if youridicule Jesus today, even if
(12:04):
you accuse Jesus today, even ifyou accuse him and you hate his
church, oh, bless God, he stillspeaks to you Because the Lord
is merciful, because the Lordloves you, because the Lord
cares about you, even in themidst of your anger, even in the
midst of your hatred, even inthe midst of your fornication,
even in the midst of yourdrunkenness.
(12:25):
This same Jesus, who is king ofall kings, he is love and he
loves you and he knows you andhe ministers to you and he
showers you with mercy.
And you don't believe me thathe showers you with mercy.
Well, bless God, you're stillliving.
Bless God, you're stillbreathing.
Bless God, your heart is stillbeating.
Bless God, you still have theability to listen and the
(12:50):
ability to hear Jesus.
And, bless God, he's stilldrawing you today.
He is slow to anger.
Amen and hallelujah.
He is rich in mercy.
Amen and hallelujah.
And that's towards you today, nomatter what kind of sin you've
done, no matter what sin you'rein, no matter what kind of sin
that you are planning to do, heis with you today.
(13:10):
He knows about your heart, heknows about your mind, he knows
about your sin, he knows aboutyour wickedness.
He knows about all of that andyet he still speaks to you.
And he doesn't speak to you todestroy you.
See, he's speaking as a king,he's speaking as lord and he is
not speaking to destroy you.
(13:34):
If he was speaking to destroyyou, you would be destroyed
already.
If he was speaking to kill you,you'd be dead already.
If he was speaking to wipe youout, you'd be wiped out already,
because scripture tells us amenand hallelujah when his wrath
moves just a little bit, when hespeaks to you in his wrath,
(13:57):
just a little bit, nobody canwithstand that.
Nobody can withstand that.
So he has a wrath, yes, he hasa wrath of God, and hell is a
very, very real place.
My friend, I got to tell youthat today there is a real wrath
and there is a real hell.
And yet, if you're listening tothis today as a lost person,
you're listening to this todayas someone who doesn't like
(14:18):
Jesus doesn't want anything todo with him.
You're listening to this todayas someone who has heard this
before.
And you've rejected and you'vegone your way and you've had
your sin and you've rejected andyou've gone your way and you've
had your sin and you're livingin your sin and you're breathing
in your sin and you're movingin your sin and you're pursuing
your sin.
I'm here to tell you today thathe still loves you.
I'm here to tell you today thatthat wrath has not yet fallen
(14:44):
on your head, that wrath has notyet been poured out on you,
because when he speaks to youjust a little bit in his wrath,
there's none of us that canwithstand that, my friend.
But today he's speaking to youas a king, because he is a king.
He's speaking to you as asavior, because he is a savior.
(15:05):
He's speaking to you as thetruth, because he is the way,
the truth and the life.
He's speaking to you as thelamb who was slain and risen
again because, hallelujah andamen.
God put all of your sin ontohim and he put himself in your
place.
He put all of your sin on Jesusand Jesus Christ himself took
(15:29):
all of your sin upon himself andhe did it willingly, and
scripture tells us that no mantook his life from him, but he
laid it down.
He laid it down because thefather wanted a way to be
reconciled with you.
He wanted a way for your sin tobe forgiven and your sin to be
forgotten and your sin to becast into a sea of forgetfulness
(15:51):
, and for you to be separatedfrom your sin as far as east is
from the west.
He made a way for you to beadopted into his family.
He made a way for you to becomeone of his sons and one of his
daughters.
He made a way for you to beforgiven and to be set free from
the sin that is dragging youfurther and further into death.
(16:14):
And, my friend, if you're notset free from it, my friend, if
you keep on going with it, youare going to end up in the
devil's hell.
The wages of sin is death, myfriend.
The payment that you can expectto receive from your sin is
nothing but death.
But the gift of God to youtoday, the gift of God to
(16:35):
whosoever will believe him today, the gift of God to the worst
sinner among us today, iseternal life through Jesus
Christ, our Lord.
That's the kind of God he is,that's the kind of king he is,
that's the kind of authority heis.
He's the kind of king who isgood to his enemies, he shows
(16:58):
kindness to his enemies.
He's not just nice to hisenemies, but he shows kindness
to his enemies and he shows loveto his enemies.
And he shows love to hisenemies because who would die to
make an enemy into a friend?
Who among us, some among us andthe book of Romans tells us this
some among us would die for agood person.
(17:19):
We would die so that they couldlive.
But Jesus Christ died so thatthe worst of us, jesus Christ
died so that the murderer, jesusChrist died.
So that the thief, jesus Christdied.
So that the liar, Jesus Christdied.
So that the adulterer, jesusChrist died.
(17:40):
So that the drunk Jesus Christdied.
So that the addict, jesusChrist died.
So that the drunk Jesus Christdied.
So that the addict, jesusChrist died.
So that the blasphemer, jesusChrist died.
So that the idol worshiper,jesus Christ died, so that his
enemies could be forgiven.
Jesus Christ died so that hisenemies could be made into his
(18:02):
friends, enemies could be madeinto his friends.
Jesus Christ died so that youcould be reconciled to him and
that your sin would be dealtwith in a way that doesn't
involve your eternal damnationin hell.
Instead, god would be faithfuland just to forgive you because
you trusted in Jesus.
(18:23):
To forgive you because youtrusted in Jesus.
Jesus already died your death.
Jesus already took the wrath ofGod.
Jesus already died your deathand glory.
Hallelujah.
He's alive today and he isdrawing you today and he's
saying come unto me today.
Come up out of your sin today.
Come up out of your death today.
Come up out of your lies andyour drunkenness and your
(18:44):
fornications.
Come up out of your hatred.

fornications.

Come up and be born again.
Come up and be reconciled.
Come up and receive eternallife.
Come up and receive a neweternal life that begins now and
(19:04):
stretches all the way intoeternity.
My friend, but will you obey himtoday?
And, my friend, I need to tellyou this even if you refuse him
today, there will come a daywhere you will have to obey him,
because he has appointed a dayin which he will judge this
world in righteousness.
And on that final day, myfriend, even if you go through
(19:27):
this life raging against Jesus,even if you go through this life
proud against Jesus, even ifyou go through this life
resisting Jesus until your lastbreath, there will come a day
when every tongue will bow,every knee will bow and every
tongue will confess that JesusChrist is Lord to the glory of
God, the Father, even yours.
(19:49):
But, my friend, I don't wantyou to see that judgment.
I don't want you to see thatday.
I want you and hallelujah amen,the Lord himself wants you now.

You call upon Jesus and man,you may go to the floor as a
sinner, but you rise up again asa saint, born again, forgiven
