The leader as servant

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The sermon discusses the importance of living under authority, including human and governmental authority. The speaker emphasizes that authority must be exercised with a spirit of meekness, service, consideration, and respect for those under the authority. The sermon cites the Bible passages from Romans 13 and the story of Jesus washing his disciples' feet as examples of the importance of living under authority. The speaker notes that while there may be imperfections in authority, it is important to strike a balance and submit to authority.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of respecting authority and submitting to superior authorities. He believes that questioning authority leads to problems and rebellion is condemned by God. He gives examples of how respecting authority can bless both the individual and the society. He also believes that the police and the army are blessings and Christians can serve in them. The speaker emphasizes the need to do good and avoid doing wrong to receive praise from authority and avoid punishment.

The sermon is about the importance of respecting authority and understanding the role of authority in our lives as Christians. The speaker believes that the police, army, and other authorities are necessary for maintaining order in society, and that Christians can serve in these positions. He emphasizes the importance of paying respect and obedience to those in authority, including government leaders and elders in the church. He also warns against speaking disrespectfully of Satan and other spiritual authorities, and believes that the church has lost its understanding of spiritual principles and needs to return to sound teaching in order to combat the presence of evil within its walls.

The church has become contaminated by worldly principles, and as a result, there is no power of the Holy Spirit. To rescue the church, we need to recover the eternal principles of God's Word and allow the Spirit to move in our midst. We must ask for wisdom and repent for our rebelliousness. Only then can God's power be manifested in our church.

Now we are going to study something of the word of the Lord and we are going to continue with the topic that I started last Sunday about authority. I want to invite you to look in the book of Romans, or the Letter to the Romans in Chapter 13, again, there are always so many texts, there are so many passages that we could use to base ourselves on what we want to discuss that I could pick several, but this is a very appropriate passage and the Lord placed this passage on my heart.

As you remember, and for the brothers who are visiting today or who were not there last Sunday, I undertook this sermon because it is linked to the sermon of the Sunday before, that is, two years ago. Sundays ago, I preached about obedience as a protection for the people of God, being obedient to the Father, being obedient to the word of the Lord.
