The Role of Government from Romans 13.1-7 - Wednesday Wisdom
03/06/2020 Duración: 35minThanks for listening to the "This is Gonna Hurt" podcast. In this episode, we look at the role of government from Romans 13: Romans 13.1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is

In this episode, Gordon preaches from Romans 12.3-8: Big Idea: Empowering the Gifts within the Church Gifting Starts with Humility Gifting is Intended for the Church Gifting is Guided by God’s Commands Gifting Starts with Humility Romans 12. 3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. Gifting is Intended for the Church 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
