In this thought-provoking message, Pastor Seth dives into the challenging notion of submitting to authority, reflecting on Romans 13:1-7. With the current skepticism toward institutions, this sermon encourages a fresh perspective: honoring authority doesn’t mean blind obedience but aligning actions with God’s teachings. By exploring concepts of respect, accountability, and prayer for leaders, we’re challenged to influence positively rather than rebel. Through authentic love and intentional living, we can transform our interactions with authority figures — from teachers to government officials — and strengthen our witness in the world while maintaining our ultimate loyalty to God’s higher authority.
