Join us for “A Political Calling In, Not Out,” part of the "You Have a Part to Play" series—a series where we address six key cultural issues—Fame, Homelessness, Creation Care, Politics, Modern Slavery, and Common Humanity.

In this engaging sermon, Pastor Alvin Brown dives into the important topic of Politics and calls on Christians to actively shape our world. He explores Romans 13:1-7, where the Apostle Paul addresses a community much like ours—early Christians facing a challenging political landscape under Roman rule, rife with oppression, division, and political discourse. Just as they grappled with living out their faith in a conflicting environment of governing authorities, we too are navigating a complex political climate today.

Our society is deeply divided, filled with passionate debates and differing ideologies. Yet, Paul’s message to the Romans—to submit to governing authorities—challenges us to reflect God’s heart in this broken world. It’s not just about submitting for the sake of submitting, but it’s a challenge for us to examine our motivations and allegiances in our submitting as we consider:

How can we, as followers of Christ, become agents of reconciliation and unity, especially with those in power, even when we disagree?

Pastor Alvin encourages us to balance our convictions with our calling to love one another, shedding light on God’s vision for the relationship between church and state. He inspires us to understand the divine purpose behind politics and government, urging us to be difference-makers in a culture that desperately needs the hope and grace of Jesus.

Discover how your story fits into God's greater plan and His role for you to play in shaping the world around you. Listen now and be inspired to be a difference maker!
