A Biblical Approach To Politics

TRUTH FROM THE BIBLE

WHO IS GOD? GOD IS SOVEREIGN

What do we know about what it means for God to be sovereign?

Job 12:13-25, Job 42:2, Psalm 24:1, John 19:9-12, Romans 13:1, Genesis 45:8

God’s sovereign plan is to save us

Acts 4:23-30, Ephesians 1:4-14, Ephesians 4:11-13

God has used governments as part of his rescue mission from the very beginning…

WHO ARE WE?

As humans, we are not sovereign; we are created

Genesis 1:26-27, But then, Genesis 3

As Christians, we are new

2 Corinthians 5:16-21

A new perspective on Christ/others (v16)

New creations (v17)

Reconciled (v18)

APPLYING THIS TRUTH TO HOW WE APPROACH POLITICS

Politics is a way of making agreements (or laws) as a community

GREATEST LAW: Matthew 22:34-40

How will we respond to political diversity within our church?

CONCLUSION

Politics is a part of our lives, but it is not the most important part

How is God inviting you to trust Him, especially through 2024?

WHAT IS OUR MISSION?

Isaiah 9:6-7
