A Question of Authority

Matthew 7:28–29  (ID: 1354)

We all like to be our own masters, and we don’t like it when we are overruled. In this sermon, however, Alistair Begg reminds us that God has the ultimate authority. As we look at the Bible and see how God has revealed Himself through general revelation, the incarnation of Christ, and the inspiration of Scripture, we are challenged to accept God’s authority and respond in obedience.


The Authority of Jesus

28And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
