Episode 130: Tim Ferris - Kingdom Series - The Roots of Rebellion - 6 November 2022

This week we were blessed to have Tim Ferris come and share a word at our Tribe Sunday service! Tim is the Pastor at i61 church in Sydney; a church that Tribe has partnered with for over 10 years.

In this life giving message, Tim unpacks God's heart for maturing the Bride of Christ through addressing rebellion. Sharing his prophetic sense that this season is one where the Father is putting His finger on our immaturity to help us grow up. This is the Father inviting us up to a new place of greater authority, anointing and power that innately attracts His presence.

Tim wonderfully illustrates the importance of living under God's kingly reign, by emphasising how the Israelites' understanding led them into idolatry. Tim states that the Kingdom of God is not a democracy, but one where He reigns with rank, order and authority, and this order is setup so we are blessed, empowered and protected.

Tim talks on the Godly structures of authority that God has made in family and leadership, and how it is important to seek God's understanding of honour in responding to good and bad displays of authority.

Tim shows different examples of good and bad leadership in scripture, to how we should respond with honour and Godly character in each test. He highlights where people had honour, accusation and rebellion, and how a Godly response differs from worldly wisdom.

Tim also uses the story of David and Saul, to illustrate that even when everything points towards judgement and we can feel justified in acting one way, to always seek God's heart.
