==========

Title: "Submit to His Authority"

Series: KING JESUS

Speaker: Jim Hammond

Matthew 28:18-20

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

I. Who’s in Charge? JESUS

Matthew 28:18

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Authority is the right to command, enforce, punish, and reward

II. Your Mission: CHANGE the WORLD

Matthew 28:19-20

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Since this is the King’s great commission, we need to submit to his authority. To fail to do so is high treason.

III. How? Do the “Math” (mathēteuō): MAKE DISCIPLES

“Making Disciples” means teaching people incrementally to…

1) WANT Jesus as savior and king,

2) COMMIT their allegiance to Jesus

3) GROW and become like Jesus.

GROW and become like Jesus:

MORALS: Transformed lifestyle: It’s what I do.

MEANING: Transformed identity: Because of who I am now.

MISSION: Transformed purpose: Because of who He Is!

Gratitude is the Antidote to Anxiety

Gratitude is the Antidote to Anxiety MARCH 30, 2025 WEEK 4 _______________ Philippians 4:4-8 (NIV) > 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. 1. The state of Gratitude and Anxiety cannot coexist in the mind. Psalms 100:4 (NIV) > 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalms 136:1 (NIV) > 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV...

OUR OMNIPOTENT GOD'S GOT YOU

June 7th - 9th, 2025 WEEK 2 _______________ The greater our illusion of control, the higher our level of anxiety. When we obsess over things we can't control, we forfeit control over things we can control and we rob ourselves of the peace we could have by releasing control to God. "Do you trust God is capable of control?" Matthew 19:26 NIV > Mark 6:5 NIV > How do I release the illusion of control to an omnipotent God? John 11:1-7, 11-27, 32, 43-44 NIV > Colossians 3:3-4 NIV > What is one area of your life you need to release control over? What is God speaking to you through this message? What is one thing you can do this week to live out the teaching?
