    Submission To Authorities

    Contributed by Mark Engler on Dec 4, 2014
     | 8,592 views

    If the Christian is going to be a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God Paul calls us to submit to the governing civil authorities. This sermon looks at what that looks like for the Christian.

    Submission To The Authorities Romans 13:1-7 Read Text: Romans 13:1-7 INTRO: How many of us like to submit? Doesn’t even the thought of submitting or of submission almost repulse us? I know that we have a lot of competitive people in this body of believers. We have business men and ...read more

    Lawful Authority Series

    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

    The religious leaders questioned Jesus' authority. We know Jesus has authority, but does he really have authority over us?

    Matthew 21:23-32 "Authority Issues" INTRODUCTION God is a God of abundance and diversity. Looking around the worship area, it is obvious that we are very different people. We like to make things easy, though, so we often condense our diversity down to the basic essentials and say that there ...read more

    By What Authority?

    Who is Jesus? Was He just a man. Or was He a myth? Or is He the Divine Christ?

    By What Authority? Luke 19:45-20:8 Luke has just given extensive coverage of the Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday. (See sermon: “It’s My Party, and I’ll Cry if I Want To”) So why does Luke give only one verse to the cleansing of the Temple when Matthew and especially Mark give extensive coverage? ...read more

    In the Bible we see the authority of Jesus being questioned regarding the clearing of the temple. What authority does Jesus have in your life when it comes to getting rid of things that Jesus would like to remove?

    Mark 11:27-33 (Please open your Bibles so you can read along) (Briefly describe the following from Mark 11) Jesus arrives at the Jerusalem late in the day and walks around looking at everything. Because it is late He goes to Bethany for the night. Coming back the next morning He “began driving ...read more

    Why did God create mankind and establish a relationship with man? Why did God speak through prophets, through angels, and why did He send Jesus?

    AUTHORITY ACKNOWLEDGED John 2:1-16 People are curious about many things. Some are trivial and others are quite profound. Many questions we raise do not have clearly defined answers and we often wind up with a multitude of opinions that are likely to be in conflict. Many of life’s ...read more

    This is the final lesson from the Behold the Man series. We have looked at how some have seen him, including the Father's view as His Son, the Anointed One. This lesson looks at Jesus as he sees himself -- as having all authority in heaven and on earth.

    1. Review: The last few weeks have been a series on "Behold the Man" -- words that Pilate spoke as he presented Jesus to the people. * We have seen our need to see him for who he is. * Last week we looked at him from the Father's perspective as He declared of Jesus, "This is my beloved son in whom ...read more

    By healing the centurion’s servant, Jesus establishes his power over the material world, but it’s the spiritual reality of faith to which Jesus draws our attention.

    INTRODUCTION • Most of us are acquainted with the ideas of formal and informal authority. • Formal authority is attached to someone’s title or position. • More often, though, people have informal authority over us. • We’ll listen to the people we trust and do what they ask because we trust them. ...read more

    Jesus’ cleansing of the temple intensifies the conflict. Luke uses a series of dialogues to convey the controversy between Jesus and the Jewish leaders. Jesus’ authority is of paramount importance, and His work as teacher and prophet requires validation.

    LUKE 20: 1-8 [JESUS’ LAST WEEK SERIES] THE QUESTION OF AUTHORITY In this last week of Jesus’ earthly life section Luke uses a series of dialogues to convey the controversy between Jesus and the Jewish leaders. The outcome of Jesus’ cleansing of the temple is that the religious leaders again ...read more

    Paul continues to answer his critics in Corinth, and we are faced with the same problem we had before; we are only hearing one side of the argument, Paul’s side, and we can only deduce what the criticisms were from Paul’s reply to them.

    December 10, 2014 Tom Lowe The Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians Lesson IV.A.2: By his Authority. (10:7-11). 2nd Corinthians 10:7-11 (NKJV) 7 Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ's, let him again ...read more

    Adam was able to exercise this power over creation with the word of his mouth, until the day he disobeyed the command of God. The day Adam and Eve disobeyed, they lost this authority that God had bestowed on them.

    Psalm 91 - Study 32 - Our Authority We read in Psalm 91:13, “You will have power to trample on lions and poisonous snakes.” (ERV) Our studies on Psalm 91 hitherto have described in detail the protection that is available to those who have made the Lord their refuge and dwelling place.

    Jesus demonstrated that the religious authorities did not have the authority to create laws for the people which violated God's Torah.

    One thing that is clear in his thinking and interpretation of Paul regarding authority is that Subjects are subjected to the laws and regulations of the authorities. The authorities are subjected to the laws and regulations of God.

    Romans 13:01-07 Submission to Authorities 1. World Authorities (Romans 13:1-3) St. Paul wrote that no governing authority exists without the establishment of God. The days of Paul were witnessed by the kingdoms, emperors, armies, and rulers. He would like to approve that those kingdoms and ...read more

    If we are to understand the divine authority of Scripture, it is important that we understand the way scripture was inspired by God. It is the bedrock of our faith in Christ. Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.
