In an era of increasing societal and political polarization, it's easy to slide into the intense partisanship we see around us. But Jesus models something different. Something not partisan but prophetic. A way forward that refuses to give allegiance to anything other than Jesus' kingship, but exercises a subversive rebellion through submission. Join us as Pastor Ben unpacks Jesus' well-known words in Matthew 22:21, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

We wrap up our series in the Gospel of Matthew this morning looking at Jesus' final words to his disciples.
