The Challenge of Submission: Trusting Leadership in the Church

Post Sermon Reflections

Welcome back to another episode of the Post Sermon Reflections Podcast, where we help you apply Sunday morning learning into Monday morning living by connecting others to the love of Jesus and helping them live on gospel mission. In this special episode, Ruth hosts her final podcast, joined by friends Jason and Brianna, as they dive into the 'Body' sermon series focusing on the role of elders and the concept of submission in the church.

The discussion centers around Hebrews 13:7 and 13:17, exploring the responsibilities of elders to guard and protect God's word while leading by example. The conversation tackles the challenge of submission within the church, especially within the context of Western individualism, and emphasizes the importance of accountability and trust in leadership.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own attitudes towards submission and authority, examining how their relationship with God influences their willingness to submit to church leaders. The episode concludes with a heartfelt prayer and a call to trust and obey God's design for church leadership.
