Give to God what is God’s - Matthew 22:15-22

When Jesus is asked by the Pharisees whether or not they should pay taxes to Caesar, it seems simply like a tricky question and a perfect comeback. But there is a lot more going on here than there first appears to be. Jesus in his reply touches on foundational aspects of human life, including truthfulness, idolatry, and true worship. This sermon was preached at St John's Southgate Lutheran Church on October 16th, 2011. Enjoy!
