November 3, 2024 • Chase Snyder • Galatians 5:13–26
In Galatians 5, Paul emphasizes our need for freedom in Christ. As Christians, there are many questions, frustrations, and fears that swarm us as we look at our nation today. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the plight of it all. But in times like these, we need to focus on Jesus instead of placing our hope in a political figure or party. After all, our nation’s deepest need isn’t political reform—it’s freedom from sin, a freedom only Christ can provide.

What is a Christian’s place in politics? Christians have a governmental right to vote and to participate in bringing political change in America. But some Christians cross the line from working to bring change to putting their hope in America, a political party, or a politician.
In this sermon, Pastor Chase will preach from 1 Samuel 8 where the nation of Israel wanted a king to rule over them. Their request was for a king who would judge them, go before them, and fight their battles. Israel failed to realize that God is their perfect King.
Jesus is our eternal King, to whom we find our complete hope. Jesus is our ultimate authority, our fearless Leader, and our everlasting Provider. No government or political leader will ever dethorne Jesus as the King of Kings. We must remember that Jesus is our King and he is the one who will save America. And Christians should be unified.
