In The Way | Politics | Week 2 | September 15, 2024
Teacher: Adam Barnett
/> 1. Jesus demands our ultimate allegiance.
/> Anyone who loves a father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and anyone who loves a son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. - Matthew 10:37-38
/> My Christian identity is superior to my political affiliation.
/> 2. My peace and hope are in Jesus, not the Oval Office.
/> Christ and _____________ is not the gospel of Jesus Christ.
/> 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! 10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. – Galatians 1:6-10
/> 3. No matter what, God is in control.
/> God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. Psalms 47:8
/> Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. – Matthew 28:18
/> 4. This is not our home, but it still matters.
/> And work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare. - Jeremiah 29:7
/> 5. Allow the Bible to influence your vote.
/> … But the word of the Lord endures forever.– 1 Peter 1:25
/> 6. Choose your words wisely.
/> “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” - Ephesians 4:29
/> 7. Pray for our next President.
