The title of this series is called The Government of God.

Can you write that down?

The Government of God.

And we're going to want to unpack that today.

So, Church, let's stand as we read the Word of God together.

And I'm just glad that you're here today.

Many people are on vacation.

Many people are away for the Easter resurrection week, and they'll be making their way back home today.

But what a great resurrection week we had, friends.

I don't know where you were at.

I hope you were here.

If not, you were somewhere worshiping God.

But I got to tell you, it was awesome, right, from sunrise service all the way through the Lord just had people coming forward, one after another.

We met some gang members that got saved.

We met some people who had never been to church before in their life.

We met some people from the Middle East who had heard about Easter services and they said,

we're going to go. And they came and they went forward. One of them said to the other,

this makes sense to me. Does it make sense to you? And the guy said, it makes total sense to me.

And they said, well, let's go. Let's do this thing. And so one thing after another, and wow, God is so good.

He is so good.

So Romans chapter 13, I'll read it in verse 1 if you'll pick it up in verse 2.

So Paul said to them, let every soul be subject to the governing authorities.
