Gone Gabriel

All of us deal with authority issues. We don’t like to talk about it, but it’s something we all struggle with in one way or another. Not to mention, authority issues are everywhere; they’re in your marriage and mine, they’re in your family, your family of origin, they’re at your job, they’re on the team. But the good news is that God is a God of authority. He always works with authority. There is a chain of command. God, being God, whether you believe it or not, is sovereign. He’s omnipotent. And He places people in our lives, authority figures in our lives, to mold us and to shape us into the kind of people that He desires. And yet so often in our lives, we want to push back from the purpose that God has for our lives, which is for us to submit to authority. So in this message, I want us to take a look at a couple different places mentioned in Scripture so that we can learn more about how God wants us to deal with our authority issues.
