Can We Talk? Politics + Government

Trinity Community Church

In this insightful sermon, Pastor Mark Medley brings the "Can We Talk?" series to a close with a thought-provoking discussion on "Politics + Government." Mark explores how our Christian faith intersects with our political engagements, challenging us to view politics through Jesus' teachings.
Drawing from Matthew 22, Mark illustrates how Jesus adeptly navigated political questions, emphasizing our role as Christians in the political sphere. He encourages us to approach politics not as a means of division but as an opportunity to demonstrate the spirit of Jesus—marked by truth, unity, and compassion.
Mark discusses the importance of our dual citizenship—our allegiance to both the Kingdom of Heaven and our earthly nations. He reminds us that our political involvement should reflect our Christian values, advocating for a balanced approach that respects our earthly responsibilities while prioritizing our heavenly citizenship.
The sermon is filled with compelling historical anecdotes that underscore the power of prayer in shaping political landscapes. Mark emphasizes engaging with politics in a manner that fosters understanding and empathy, advocating for prayerful consideration before entering political discussions.
As the series concludes, Mark leaves us with a powerful call to action: to be active, compassionate participants in our political systems, echoing the love and righteousness of Christ. This sermon is a must-watch/listen for anyone seeking to understand the Christian perspective on politics and government.
