Romans 13:1-7 // September 29th, 2024
Teaching overview
This week’s teaching was on Romans 13:1-7. In this text, Riley focused on how we as believers are to be submitted to the governing authorities, because all authorities are established by God. We as Jesus followers are to live well, be good citizens, and pay our taxes.
Our prayer for your Community
