How to Think Like God - Pt. I (8 of 40)
Series: Living Under Kingdom Authority
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
1 Corinthians 2.6-16
Now from the book of 1 Corinthians , we’re learning these days about …
Living Under Kingdom Authority.
Don’t think for a second that being under authority is a bad thing; it’s a good thing! It is a great thing! In fact, it is a godly thing! Jesus himself was under authority! And because He was under authority, He had authority. Remember this, before you can have authority you must first be under authority.

It’s impossible to live “godly in Christ Jesus,” while living out from under Kingdom Authority. No wonder the Christian life is such a struggle for you! No wonder you give into temptation so easily. No wonder you have to drag yourself here on Sundays to worship. No wonder you continue living in defeat to ungodly things! Where is the victory? Where is the joy? Where is strength needed for pulling down strongholds? I’ll tell you were it ...
