SERMON
* Speaker: Rev. Gyang Moses Chuwang
* Topic: The Marks of His Footsteps in the Gospels
* Theme: Following in His Footsteps
* Focus of this teaching: Jesus relating to existing authority

* There are three (3) types of authorities
1. Domestic authority (found in the family)
2. Governing authorities (institutional and political)
3. Spiritual authorities


* Authority is power and right to give orders and make others obey




* The way to heaven is the way of humility and of obedience

* Some people are "too big" to get to heaven, so they'll get to hell!

* Governing authorities

* Spiritual authorities

* Jesus was submissive to all authorities and He expects us (as Christians) to do same
