The following blog post contains notes and application questions from the "Authority" message in the series "Can You Relate?" Watch the full sermon here.
As we continue our series “Can You Relate?”, JP teaches us about our relationship with authority using one word: submission. Teaching through 1 Peter 2:11-25, JP shows us that we honor God by submitting to: our government, our employer, and our Church. As Christians, we submit to every human authority, unless obeying earthly authority means disobeying our Heavenly Authority.
As we relate to our authority we submit to:
When someone tells you what to do, don’t resent the what, respect the who.
When do we rebel? When obeying our earthly authority means disobeying our heavenly authority.
