    This sermon is about how our words match our actions when it comes to obedience to the will of God.

    BY WHAT AUTHORITY Text: Matthew 21:23-32 I once heard the story about a young man who wanted a custom paint job on his car. He wanted the car to be two different colors. He wanted the whole right side to be one color and the left another color. When asked why he wanted his car ...read more

    This sermon is about claiming and living with the authority that God gives us in Jesus Christ!

    What is the 1st commandment about? I used Dr. Laura’s Book on the 10 Commandments for a Jewish perspective on this series.

    INTRODUCTION • How many of you have seen the epic, The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston? What a great classic.

    His Word says He will never leave us or forsake us. He is always there assisting, encouraging, leading, comforting, giving direction, and disciplining, as needed.

    Hebrews 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

    I think we all agree that ours is a spiritual battle...EPH 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Where are these "spiritual hosts ...read more

    Christian parents need to model and teach what it means to respect authority.

    The Bible makes it clear that showing respect for authority is to be a priority for the child of God. "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, ...read more

    Submission To Authorities

    Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Apr 19, 2017
     | 7,965 views

    Submission to authorities has always been a touchy subject. Our mandate is to represent Christ to the world, and part of that mandate is to be in prayer for the people God has put in authority over us.

    SUBMISSION TO AUTHORITIES ROMANS 13:1-8 HISTORY HAS SHOWN THAT THERE IS AN ADVERSE REACTION TO PEOPLE WITH AUTHORITY. IT WOULD SEEM THAT ORDERS ALWAYS COME FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM, WHILE REACTION TO THE ORDERS FROM BOTTOM TO TOP. THIS BEGINS AT A VERY EARLY AGE AND CAN CONTINUE ALL THROUGH ...read more

    It is not that the religious leaders did not know who Jesus was, but that they would not accept his authority. We are in the sinful state that we are in today, not because we do not know that God exists, but because we have refused to acknowledge h

    Apostle Paul preached the gospel in such a way that the gospel was heard in every places. But he did not resist the authorities. If they wanted them to put them into prison, he let them. He didn’t shout, “That’s against human freedom.” No, he didn’t. Inst

    Submit to the Authorities Romans 13:1-7 Introduction Last week we focused our attention on verse 1b. In that verse we have seen three (3) implications that solidify our understanding why we have to submit to governing authorities. Let’s review it again. 1. It implies the truth that man did ...read more

    Controversy tore the early church. Judaizers taught that Gentile Christians had to submit to Jewish ritual laws & traditions in addition to believing in Christ. Paul confronted this issue.

    The Authority Of Our Will

    God gave man the ultimate authority to do whatever they wanted to do. In this sense He made us just like Him, we have the power of choice. It is always in our best interest when we choose to do what He has told us to do.

    From the very beginning we can see that God has given man a free choice. Adam and Eve were disobedient against God’s specific commandment. The result for them was spiritual death and eventually physical death. Why didn’t God stop them from this disobedient act knowing full well the outcome? He ...read more

    Explores the call to servitude, sacrifice, and courage in faith.

    Good morning, beloved. How wonderful it is to gather in the house of the Lord, to sit beneath His grace and mercy, to bask in His love and bountiful blessings.

    Lawful Authority Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 25, 2011
     | 3,703 views

    Some authority is built into the fabric of God's very creation, and our response to earthly authority - whether we wield it or submit to it - reflects our acceptance of God's authority.

    Many scholars and preachers treat today's passage as an extension of last week's exhortation for husbands and wives to submit to one another. They call the section between chapter 5 verse 21 and chapter 6 verse 9 "house codes." Paul almost certainly drew from well-known early Christian teachings ...read more
