July 16, 2026 – Bowing to the Only Wise God
Sermon: 1082 – Dreams that Never Come True
Pray Over This
“To God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.”
Ponder This
Jude said the apostate rejects authority or despises dominion (1:8 KJV). What did he mean by dominion? Who or what is dominion? Look in verse 25: “To God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.” When apostates despise dominion, they despise the only wise God who alone has that dominion. An apostate literally hates God. Look in the last part of verse 4 in chapter 1: they “deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.” As a reminder, these are not deniers of God outside the church. These are deniers of God inside the church. These are people who despise dominion and sit on church pews, teach in seminaries, and teach in Bible colleges. They are rebels at heart. They do not want anybody to box them in. Their battle cry is freedom. They don’t want anybody to tell them what they must believe or how they must behave.
- How would you explain what it means to despise dominion?
- What are some ways you might be tempted to do this? How can you guard against it?
Practice This
Make a list of ways God exercises His dominion in the world. Make notes of ways you can submit to and praise His dominion in these areas.
