Trial
Part 7: Submission to Authority
1 Peter 2:13-17
In an anti-authoritarian culture, God calls us to obey all authorities to the extent that it doesn’t cause us to sin. Pastor Mark Driscoll unpacks this in this sermon from the Trial series.
1 Peter 2:13-17
13 Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. 17 Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
