Riverside Church, Birmingham, Uk

TEACHING SERIES: Citizen SERMON TITLE: Speaking Truth To Power BY: Tim Chilvers DATE: Sunday 2 June 2024 BIBLE PASSAGES: Daniel 4:1-3 (Daniel 4 & 5) EXCERPT: Who is the most powerful person you know? What does it mean to be ‘powerful’? And how can we use that power in a healthy and good way, rather than a destructive, self-centred way? “We are easily drawn in by energy, drive, charisma and what seems like success. But how can we tell if what we are seeing is healthy, biblical leadership?” (Marcus Honeysett) “This is the first temptation of power: We view the problem as “out there”…but we ignore the problem in our own hearts….Part of being created in God’s image is having the power to shape the world around us.” (Kyle Strobel and Jamin Goggin) “With great power comes great responsibility” (Spiderman) Welcome: What's true of Riverside Church when we meet together in-person is still true of us online. We are on a journey together to help people get to know Jesus and grow as his followers across Birming
