Grace Over Politics

November 3, 2024 • Miguel Candelario • Matthew 5:44, 1 Corinthians 1:10, Philippians 3:20, Matthew 5:9, Ephesians 4:30

In a world filled with division and strong opinions, how can we as Christians stay focused on what truly matters? In this powerful message, we explore the idea of “Grace Over Politics” and what it means to live as citizens of Heaven first. Through personal insights, historical examples, and a look at Scripture, this sermon challenges us to embrace unity, choose grace, and walk in step with the Holy Spirit—even in a divided world. We’ll also revisit the heartache of the Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln called the nation to heal rather than divide further, and see how this lesson still speaks to us today. Whether you’re navigating personal conflicts, political differences, or simply looking to deepen your connection with God and others, this message encourages you to keep Jesus at the center and to make every relationship a reflection of His love and grace.
