The Church and Politics // John 18:36-38

Government

November 13, 2022 • Lorenzo Elizondo • John 18:36–38

Give

Our hope is not in government, but it Christ and him alone. However, we have a duty to be informed and involved in the political decisions in our country. We do so out of love for our neighbor. Therefore, our response and view on politics ought to be different from those who do not know the Lord.

My Body My Choice // Psalms 139:13-16

November 6, 2022 • Lorenzo Elizondo • Psalm 139:13–16

Abortion is not merely a political or cultural issue, it is a theological issue. What we think about abortion ultimately says what we think about God. In this sermon, we take a look at what the Bible says about abortion, and what our response as Christians ought to be.

Distinct Culture // 2 Corinthians 5:17-20

October 30, 2022 • Lorenzo Elizondo • 2 Corinthians 5:17–20

Every person that claims Jesus is Lord should stand out among the culture. However, this distinction is not based on finances, status, or degrees, but in character and conduct. The way we live matters to God, and he has given us instructions on how to live in the Scriptures.

Homosexuality and the Bible Part 2 // Genesis 19:4-13

October 23, 2022 • Lorenzo Elizondo • Genesis 19:4–13, Romans 1:24–27, 1 Corinthians 6:9–11, 1 Timothy 1:8–11, Leviticus 18

The need for all mankind is not about our sexuality, but our need of the gospel. When looking at sexuality we must ask ourselves, “What has God said on the matter?” The Bible is our ultimate authority and the gospel is our ultimate hope. Through it, we see God’s moral laws perfectly fulfilled in Jesus. In him we are freed from the bondage of sin and empowered to follow and obey God. As believers, we are to bring truth and love to all people, including those in the LGBTQ community. We do not separate truth and love, but bring them both to a world that is in desperate need of a Savior.
