Dear Advent Family,
It was a wonderful time getting to meet and greet with you all. This week’s devotionals will focus on some of the points from Sunday’s sermon, “A New Teaching”. My hope is that we will recognize the authority, darkness exposing, power, amazement and impact His new teaching reveals and welcome it in our lives.
Jesus’ Authority in Your Life
Scripture: “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.'” (Matthew 28:18)
Jesus’ authority extends over all creation. When He taught, His words carried weight because He is the author of truth. His authority is not just a theological concept; it has personal implications for every believer. Think about a GPS directing your path. You trust it because it is programmed with knowledge of roads and routes. In the same way, Jesus’ authority is trustworthy because He knows the way we should go.
- Reflect on how Jesus’ authority is evident in your decisions.
- Identify an area where you’ve struggled to submit to His leadership, and begin to pray to submit to Him.
Let’s pray, Lord, You have all authority in heaven and on earth. Help me trust Your leadership and submit every area of my life to Your guidance, in Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Pastor Will
