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
