All Authority Comes From God

Introduction:
Proposition: God created all things by the word of His power and He sustains all things by His continued personal exercise of His might and right (authority). Furthermore, He created and entrusted mankind with ability and authority to live, move, have our being, and exercise dominion over all creation. As we observe the proper exercise of authority by the Lord Jesus Christ, we learn both our place and our responsibility as redeemed servants, yet more than servants but as royal sons and daughters of the King of kings and Lord of lords. What must you learn and apply in your life today?

I. All authority is delegated authority

II. Proper use of authority honors the one who gave it

III. Faith in God's word is key to proper exercise of authority
