What kind of authority does the Lord give to parents? What is the goal of parental authority and what are its limits? How does parental authority change over time? We'll continue to apply God's word on the topic of authority to our everyday lives so we can better understand and follow God's good design for our flourishing!
This series is based loosely on the book, Authority by Jonathan Leeman.
The gospel impacts every area of our lives. As we continue in Ephesians this Sunday, the Apostle Paul applies his exhortation to submission in two significant places—our home and our work. We'll see how our union with Christ transforms our relationships with our parents and our bosses.
This Sunday's passage is another bizarre and incredibly sad one. We'll learn from Jacob's two wives--Leah and Rachel--who each experience an unfulfilled longing for their deepest desire. And we'll see how God can bless despite even the worst kind of mess.
The 10 commandments cover some pretty important topics: worship and idolatry, killing and stealing, adultery and lying. But why does God uses one of the "big ten" to tell us to listen to Mom and Dad? Of course it seems good to do that, but why is it such a big deal? We'll explore this on Sunday as we dive back into our How Free People Live sermon series.
How do you measure greatness? Maybe you're watching athletes competing in the Olympics or you're looking up to leaders in your vocational field. But who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? Jesus says it's the one who is most like a child. We'll see on Sunday what Jesus means by this and how we can aspire to be great in his kingdom.
