“Primary Politics” Sermon Series
Has political idolatry distracted you from living as fully as God intends?
What if, according to the Bible, a government, regardless of its worldly power, political structure, or claim to authority, not only doesn’t have the right to protect what we call rights, it doesn’t even actually have the means to do so, when compared to God? And yet, despite this audacious claim to ultimate power, God calls us to submit to the authority of our civil government.
What if real protection for the follower of Christ has literally nothing to do with military might, political power, and passing of legislation that make our lives “better”?
If we understood clearly the Almighty Power of God and what He is doing in the world, we would understand our existence here and now to be about participation in a citizenry where our lives are votes that reveal the truth of God’s sovereignty.
Because Christ makes us citizens in a kingdom with no end, Your life is your vote! for a King whose reign brings true and lasting peace and freedom.
