The Authority of the Believer | Part One

If you’ve ever felt unsure about the authority you carry as a Christian, this message lays the foundation you need. In week one of our new series The Authority of the Believer, we begin by answering a critical question: Who are you in Christ?

Life is busy, responsibilities are heavy, and faith can easily become passive if it’s not grounded in truth. This sermon brings clarity to your identity as a believer and shows why authority doesn’t start with effort—it starts with knowing who you are and whose you are.

This is practical, biblical teaching designed to help you stop living from a place of weakness and begin walking confidently in what God has already given you.

In this sermon you’ll discover:

- Why spiritual authority is rooted in identity, not effort

- What it truly means to be a new creation in Christ

- How surrender and submission unlock real authority

- Why the authority of the believer is not future tense—it’s for now

This message sets the tone for the entire series and challenges you to stop leaving unused what God has already placed in your hands. Watch with an open heart and be ready to grow.
