221: By What Authority? | William Dmytrow

About this episode

Pastor Will challenges listeners to reflect on their obedience to Jesus' authority in their daily lives through a parable from Matthew 21.

We say "Yes, Lord" with our words—but do our lives follow through?In this message, Pastor Will challenges us with a powerful parable from Matthew 21. Jesus confronts religious leaders who knew all the right answers but lacked true obedience. The question isn't whether Jesus has authority—it's whether we'll surrender to His lordship in our everyday lives.Two sons. One said "no" but repented and obeyed. The other said "yes" but never followed through. Which one are you? True discipleship isn't about perfect words on Sunday—it's about behavioral repentance that changes our direction Monday through Saturday.Where has Jesus clearly spoken in your life, but you've been avoiding Him? Maybe it's your phone habits, your relationships, your finances, or your time. The kingdom belongs not to the most intelligent, but to the most repentant. It's time to align our lives with the King of the universe.
