What orients our lives? A political party, our careers, our families? What about our faith? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the sacrifices that come with following Jesus and the courage we must cultivate to take our faith into public arenas. We see in the Gospel of John that following Jesus causes division, and Pastor Allen offers a biblical approach to handling conflict in our communities and nation. The fear of rejection and fear of pushback from authorities is not new to the twenty-first century, but neither is the boldness found from trusting in Jesus’ saving grace.
