Our True Citizenship: Being Faithful Christians in a Time of Political Division

In this insightful message, discover how faith in Jesus Christ should shape political engagement. Learn from Matthew 20:20-28 about the call to serve rather than rule, and understand the complex relationship between politics and faith. With references to John 18:36 and 2 Corinthians 5:1-10, the sermon emphasizes our primary allegiance to Christ's heavenly kingdom. Engage responsibly in earthly politics, seeking the welfare of your community as urged in Jeremiah 29:1-7. Follow the example of Jesus and historical figures like Miep Gies, and strive for unity and peace as instructed in Titus 3:1-2. Reflect on how your political actions can honor Christ and promote love, justice, and mercy.
