“Proper Spheres of Authority”

Matthew 22:15-22 - Jerry Scheumann

In calling us to ‘Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar,’ Jesus is teaching that civil government has a limited, God-given jurisdiction. As we look at the whole of God’s Word, we see that God has instituted 3 forms of government—family, church, and civil—all with their own sphere of responsibility.     

"Abounding in the Work of the Lord, part 1: Elders” 
1 Peter 5:1-5 - Jerry Scheumann

It is vitally important that we hear and obey what God’s Word says about spiritual leadership in the church. We’ll consider three points: 1.) The office of spiritual leadership 2.) The responsibilities of spiritual leadership and 3.) The necessary qualifications of spiritual leadership.
