Sermon B-Sides - E147 - "Submit to Authorities, Love Your Neighbor" - Romans 13

What does it mean to honor governing authorities when they overreach—and how do we actually love our neighbor in everyday life? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten unpack Romans 13: the God-given (but limited) role of government, sphere sovereignty, and why love fulfills the law. From lessons learned in 2020 to the priority of loving those closest to us, they show how the gospel reshapes our relationships with authority and with one another.

We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.
