Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Welcome to lesson to equipping the Saints for Spiritual Living.

This lesson will be discussing Authority.

Our first passage of scripture, they will be analyzing is found in Matthew.

Chapter 21 and verse 23 as usual.

I suggest that you have a Bible app in or pencil and a notebook to take notes into marking your Bibles when it is necessary.

If you have any questions, make sure that you write down those questions and send them to me and we'll do our best to answer those questions on the very timely basis.

Let us pray.

Our Father, we come to you asking that you be with us, throughout our Bible study as we look into your word and discuss.

This idea of Bible Authority.

as we look to see from where or what source we get Authority from If it is Authority, that comes from you or authority, to comes from man.

And how we make decisions when it comes to spiritual matters, we pray that you open up our minds and that you open up our hearts.

They're not allow us to study in, to accept that what your word says, it is in the name of your son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that we pray Almond, Matthew, 21 and 23.

The scripture says that when Jesus entered the temple area, the chief priests, and the Elders of the people came to him, while he was teaching and said, By, what Authority are you doing these things and who gave you this Authority?

You see, even these religious people in the days of Jesus were concerned by what Authority 1.

What Authority and true word.

Jesus.

Derived this Authority.

Why was he doing the things that he was doing like healing?

And Peach who gave him this Authority.

Where did it come from?

And that is our goal in this study.

To learn about our need for a 40 and the source of authority in religious matters.

Now are worth study is indeed a sortie know if you look at the word Authority, the first few letters spells out the word author, author.

And when you think about a book, If you look at the author of Who wrote the book and that's the same idea when we look at the Bible who is the author of the body.

Sure, we know that men wrote the Bible, but the scripture says that all scripture is inspired by God.

That is that God wrote the Bible that these men were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the body.

So the author or the source of the word is God.

So, when we talked about from where or the source of authority, it is the author of The Bible that is God and Authority.

Simply means power.

Or write and when they asked Jesus from where do you get this authority to say and do to teach and to heal to instruct and to even Resurrect The Dead like he did with Lazarus or jairus's daughter as we'll see in some other lessons when Jesus perform some wonderful Miracles.

Jesus simply could have answered what?

Like it the authority from myself because I am the son of God.

But Jesus doesn't do that right off the bat.

He goes on in and teaches them, some things to be able to prove to them where he gets this Authority.

So, that's what we need to understand.

God is the author.

He is the source of that Authority and will learn through scriptures that God is omniscient in the word.

Omni means everything and means he is all-knowing.

He is omnipresent.

That he is everywhere at all times and he's omnipotent, which means that he is all-powerful.

So therefore, that's where we get a 40 from now.

In every one of our lessons, it will be studying in this series of equipping, the Saints will have a memory verse and please write down this memory verse and commit it to memory.

And our memory verse for this lesson is Proverbs 14 and verse 12.

In Proverbs 14, verse 12 says, there is a way which seems right to a person.

But its end is the way of death again, notice there is a way which seems right to a person.

But its end is the way of death.

And this is a very important passage of scripture for our lesson on Authority, because many people in the religious World, believe that there is a way that seems right to them.

And it is their own way, their conscience, their Traditions, how Mom and Dad raised them their pastors with their pastor, says what their Church of the family says?

But God says the end is the way of death, the way of Destruction.

Because if God didn't say it, if God didn't teach it, it doesn't really matter.

What man says, what we must always be interested in when it comes to matter of spiritual things or matter of religion or church is, did God say it?

Did God authorize it.

In other words, is God, the author of that instruction.

Does it make a difference in whether or not we have Authority for what we do in service to God? That's the question one of the questions that we're going to be analyzing and looking to the scriptures for an answer.

Again you will here throughout our entire lesson and through every lesson that we study, does it say this in the Bible?

So doesn't make a difference in the service to God, whether what we do or we don't do and does it make any difference?

What we use?

As a source of authority, another words I know sometimes people will say that they heard this voice or that they saw a dream or that that that their mother or grandmother told them what they ought to be doing as far as religion is concerned.

But look again, if the word Authority, who is that author?

Is it, their Pastor, is it?

Their parents?

Is it the tradition of the family or is it God?

And we were thinking about where we're going to spend our eternity?

That is the rest of Eternity forever and ever.

Do I want to go to the stores?

That is God to figure it out, figure out where I'm going to spend an eternity or do.

I want to go to a dream, a better than felt Feeling by, or, or or to what my friends or my family tells me, I'd rather I think I'd rather want to go to the author of The Bible God.

Let us examine what the Bible says about the 40 regard, regarding our work for and worship of the god of Heaven.

We need to recognize.

Our need for end of Thor.

Matt needs Authority in the religious realm.

Imagine.

What would happen?

If people didn't have the source of authority and religious in the religious round.

Well, I can tell you what's going to happen.

I can't say what has happened.

We have all kinds of different religious churches by different names, believe different things, and we have religious chaos.

We need to recognize a need for Authority in the home, in school, in business, and in the nation and indeed religion needs.

It also out of 40 is defined by the dictionary as power to influence or command thought opinion or behavior.

A Bible dictionary, defines the word Authority as jurisdiction, power, write in strength.

So the point that I want to make is that we must recognize that there is a an absolute need for authority and then we need to respect it.

Once it has been established.

Again, imagine a home a home without a Thor t It's chaos.

A school without Authority or Business Without Authority.

Or even our nation with the authorities.

It's all chaos and the same thing happens in the religious world when there is no source of authority.

And Matthew chapter 21.

The passage that we began with in our introduction.

The chief priests and the elders.

I recognized this when they asked, Jesus by what Authority are you doing these things?

When he entered the temple area of the chief priests?

And the Elders of the people came to him while he was teaching and said about Wyatt's.

But by what Authority are you doing these things and who gave you this Authority?

Bejesus.

Responded and said to them, he see Jesus understood that the reason they were asking him this wasn't because they really wanted to know who had given him this Authority.

But they were trying to trap him.

but Jesus asking this question,

I will also ask you one question, which if you tell me, I will also tell you by what Authority I do these things.

The baptism of John and he's talking about John the Baptist the baptism of John was from what source?

Was it from heaven or from Men?
