The Politics Of The King

The Party Of The Lamb

September 22, 2024 • Marcus Stenson • Matthew 4:18–22

In a world divided by politics, Christians face the challenge of navigating their faith amidst hostile division. In this message Marcus explores how Jesus' arrival during a time of intense socio-political tension in Israel offers valuable lessons for us today. Jesus chose His disciples from a diverse mix of conflicting ideologies, demonstrating that His kingdom transcends earthly divisions. This discussion provokes a serious question for the American Christian: Is your current feeling of security and level of hope more dependent on the results of the upcoming election, or the reality of the resurrection?

Party Of The Lamb Part II

September 29, 2024 • Marcus Stenson • Matthew 22:15–22

In today's divided world, the intersection of faith and politics is a complex, messy, and explosive issue. With all the fearmongering, misrepresentation, and political posturing, it can leave Christians wondering what side are we on? How are we supposed to engage with and navigate all the hostility? Jesus response to a loaded political question shows us the path to carrying ourselves in a way that looks less like the world around us, and more like Him. But will we take it? That depends on another loaded question: Is your hope more tightly bound to your election as a son/daughter of the Most High God than it is to the upcoming election? In a divided world, where does your true allegiance lie?
