In political seasons such as this, it's often easy to forget what it means to love one another, what it means to share Jesus with one another. When moving to Canada actually seems like a viable option, we find that the Bible calls us to "honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor." (1 Peter 2:17) As a church, what is our priority? As the church, what are our policies when it comes to the kingdom of this world and the Kingdom of Heaven?

3. God & Government
September 25, 2016 • Jonathan Alexander
Last week we were challenged to converse on politics with grace and understanding, bringing relationship first and displaying the love Jesus displayed in the midst of often heated discussions. However, while we practice grace in our dialogue with one another, we must also look in our own hearts and ask ourselves: as followers of Jesus, how do we live under the authority of our government? What does God say when it comes to the systems of American politics? Join us Sunday as we tackle God & Government.

September 11, 2016 • Jonathan Alexander
In the words of Pastor Jonathan Alexander: "http://yup...we're going there." With the upcoming Presidential election, American politics is in full swing. Whether you like any of the candidates, none of the candidates, or are threatening to move to Canada, as a follower of Jesus in a democratic republic, you have been given the opportunity to exercise your vote. In our new series, God & Politics, we’ll explore some key passages in the Bible that give us a framework, not about whom we should vote for but how we should vote. Remember—our only Savior and hope is Jesus, not our president, party, or political platforms.
