Respect My Authority

This Trinity Sunday, we reflect on the closing words of Matthew's Gospel words that not only shape our mission but redefine where true authority comes from. In a sermon that weaves humor, personal stories, and the Great Commission, we are reminded that real authority doesn’t come from titles, keys, or credentials it comes from a faithful relationship with Jesus Christ. When we live with humility, love, and grace, we speak with the authority of Christ Himself. This message invites us to let go of the need for recognition and instead live in a way that draws others into the gospel through the example of our lives.
