Living Humbly Under God’s Authority

Overview

In this message, we explore James 4:11–17 and what it means to live humbly under God’s sovereign authority. The passage confronts our tendency toward self-righteous judgment and arrogant presumption, calling us instead to entrust ourselves—and others—to the righteous judgment of God.

Big Idea: Loving God and others means entrusting our lives and others’ actions to God’s sovereign authority and righteous judgment.

Key Points:

  • Self-righteous judgment violates God’s royal law.
  • Arrogant presumption violates the greatest law.
  • The gospel helps us not “play God”

Let this message encourage you to walk in humility, trust God’s plans, and love others with grace.
