Jerry Hamstra January 27, 2019 Sermons Read: Exodus 20:12Romans 13:1-71 Peter 2:13-17 “As we have been seeing in our studies of the Fifth Commandment, we are to submit to those whom God has placed in authority over us and that doing so is for our good – it is the way of life and blessing. But as we have also seen along the way is that that is sometimes problematic because authority is often misused and abused because all authority figures are sinners and many of them are not saved. There is an awful lot of suffering in the world because of the abuse of authority.” — Rev. Jerry Hamstra Download ManuscriptSermon Series: The Ten Commandments
