Summary

What if authority is not about control, but stewardship? What if obedience is not weakness, but worship? In this teaching through Ephesians 6:1-9, we unpack how the gospel redeems power, purifies leadership, and forms integrity when no one is watching. From the home to the workplace, from parenting to leadership, this message confronts the misuse of authority, exposes performative obedience, and calls every role to live under the Lordship of Christ. Not louder faith. Deeper faith. Faith that shows up in the ordinary places where God does His most transformative work.
