Does faith have anything to do with politics, and what do you do when the people in power are hard to respect? This sermon turns to Romans 13, written to Christians living under Nero, and shows why Paul frames the whole conversation about government with a call to love your enemies. It asks pointed questions about speeding tickets, taxes and online complaining, and it marks the line where obedience to people gives way to obedience to God. Listen if you want to stop resting your hope on election results.
The Christian and the State
You've Got a Message
We live in a world filled with news, most of which adds nothing positive to our lives. It only stirs up anxiety and robs us of hope. Other news is fake news, which presents a distorted picture of reality and causes confusion. That is why we all need to hear this one true message about who we are, what our problem is, and what the solution is. In his Letter to the Romans, the Apostle Paul has just such a message for us and answers our most important questions. This letter is the most complete explanation of the gospel-that is, the good news from God Himself.
