Politics in Perspective
This sermon reflects on the heightened political climate leading up to the general election, emphasizing the significance of political engagement while maintaining that politics should not divide the church. The sermon draws from Mark 12, where Jesus addresses a political question about paying taxes to Caesar. By advising to "render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s," Jesus acknowledges the role of government but points to God as the ultimate authority. The speaker reminds Christians to participate in politics without idolizing it, placing their hope in Jesus rather than political leaders. The sermon concludes with a reminder that only Jesus can save, and His kingdom transcends all earthly governments.
