Authority (Part Two): Using Authority
Sermon by Richard T. RitenbaughPrompted by recent midterm election results that rebuked the party in power, this text examines the divine origin and proper exercise of authority, contrasting domineering worldly rule with the biblical model of servant leadership. Drawing on key scriptures like Romans 13 and Daniel 2, it establishes that all legitimate authority is delegated by God for His purposes, requiring profound humility and stewardship from those who lead. Through historical and biblical examples—including the cautionary tale of Elijah's transition to Elisha, the apostolic posture of servanthood, and the ultimate example of Christ in Philippians 2 and Matthew 20—the text demonstrates that true leadership demands sacrificial service, gentleness, and blameless conduct, reminding leaders across all spheres that they are ultimately accountable to the Chief Shepherd.
