| | A Look At Authority 1: Spiritual & False by Stephen Kaung
Topic: Authority | | Description: This sermon looks at the nature of authority and also deals with the fact of false authority. It starts with Romans 13 and moves through many Scriptures dealing with authority, submission, and obedience. Kaung shows that only God deserves complete obedience and that he must be obeyed at all costs. The main message of the sermon can be summed up in this quote from the message: "God is the only authority in the Universe. There is no authority whatsoever except God himself -- and what God has given.
There is so much misunderstanding about authority; we mistake something thats commonly accepted as authorities (sic) without really knowing what authority really is.
God is the one and only authority. Any professed authority that is not from God -- that is not God himself -- is not real authority, because God is the only authority in the whole universe.
The more you give, the more authority you have. The Lord Jesus said, I gave myself a ransom for many. Because he gave himself as a ransom for many, the many come under his authority. If you want to be the first among your brothers and sisters, then you have to be a bond-slave, not only to Christ, but to your brothers and sisters.

| | (Spiritual Dangers) Being Under God's Authority by Don Currin
Topic: Authority
Scripture(s): Romans 13 | | Description: There are many professing Christians who have shipwrecked on the rocks of worldliness because of their unwillingness to submit to God's authority. We have different types of saints: savorless saints (salt-wise), sipping saints (alcohol), and seditious saints (who are likely not saints at all). This message is about the latter, those who cause sedition. God appoints leaders. Insubordination is mutiny against God. Sermon outline: 1. The Danger of Sedition. 2. The Blessing of being under Authority. 3. Proper Servant-Leadership.

| | The Authority of Christ by Paul Washer
Topic: Authority
Scripture(s): Matthew 28:16-18 | | Description: This message, based on Matthew 28:16-18, is a word of comfort, encouragement and exhortation both to missionaries and to all believers. Firstly, Paul Washer explains how the disciples must have felt as Jesus came to them after his resurrection: weak, doubting, and so aware that all their claims to devotion had failed. Yet how patient God is, and Mr Washer expounds the blessed promises concerning the smoking flax and bruised reed. He then says that much of todays preaching takes away from the glory of Christ, because it puts into the future what the New Testament declares is now. Christ said, All power is (now) given unto me. Turning to Psalm 2, Mr.Washer shows how and why the heathen rage against the gospel of Jesus Christ; but God mocks them, for he has established his King, and all authority is given to Him. We should not fear those who oppose the gospel, not should we be angry; we should pity them and Mr Washer shares his own experience when arrested by police in Peru. He then expounds the Son of Man (Daniel 7:13) in the context of Christs kingdom. Conspiracy theories? There are no such thing! says Mr Washer; man can do NOTHING unless Jesus Christ decrees it. Jesus Christ is king, NOW! 71 minutes.
