The Politics of The Kingdom
The Role of the Christian in Politics
October 4, 2020 • Pastor Jim Essian
"There’s a role and purpose for government and there’s a role and purpose for the church, and they are distinct…And the church must be, as MLK taught us, “The conscience of the state" — and we do that from a place of gospel http://power...we walk into the public square and the political sphere to influence and speak with moral credibility and gospel clarity, not to assimilate and lose our souls. What does it profit you, if you gain the whole political world, but lose your soul?"
The Kingdom of God
September 13, 2020 • Pastor Jim Essian
"One day we won’t have any more elections — no more red states, blue states, donkeys, elephants — cable news will go to hell where it belongs, in everlasting torment! *insert winky face* We won’t need any more elections, we won’t need to hear any debates, we won’t need to wonder if we can trust them, no more picking the lesser of two evils, because our King conquers evil! The politics of the world will become the politics of the Kingdom of God.”
