"My boss is so unreasonable." "I can't submit to someone I don't respect." Submitting to a nice leader is fine, but how do you submit to bad authority?
Pastor Steve Cioccolanti, whose own father walked out when he was a child and whom he still visits and honors, lays out seven cases of imperfect authority in different spheres of life, so you can learn what should happen when believers meet imperfect and even harsh authority. A walk through the Bible showcasing Michael the Archangel, the Lord Jesus, the Apostle Paul, King David and King Saul, plus the wife, the child and the employee who each answer to someone they would not have chosen.
The first case is set in Heaven, and it may be the most humbling of all. "God takes much greater risk in trusting man with his authority than we do submitting to man's authority."
This is not for you if you want a comfortable sermon. Watch it before your next hard conversation with the person over you.
