Can You Surrender?

Jan 15, 2026

There are certain topics Christians often avoid because they feel uncomfortable or complicated. Questions about authority, government, and submission can quickly stir strong opinions. And without realizing it, we can begin reacting more from emotion or culture than from Scripture. In Romans chapter 13, Paul addresses how believers are called to live under governing authorities while remaining ultimately submitted to God. It’s a passage that requires both humility and discernment. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff walks us through what Scripture actually teaches about authority and submission. And reminds us that while Christians are called to be responsible citizens, our obedience to God always comes first.
