GOD AND GOVERNMENT

The theme of our church this year is: The Kingdom of God. This morning we will be looking at the various governmental jurisdictions God has set up in His world. This Sunday is also “Ascension Sunday.” We celebrate the day when Jesus “was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God” (Mark 16:19). Jesus right now is the King of kings and the Lord of lords (Rev. 1:5; 19:16). What does His reign mean in light of the various family, ecclesiastic, and civil governments of our world? We are citizens of heaven (Phil. 3:20), but we are also citizens of in the country, state, and county we live in. How are we called to be good and honorable citizens in both spheres? Join us!
