I've been researching differing viewpoints on what it means to be a Christian and an American. Wow...there a lot of wildly different ideas about what Jesus meant when he said "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s."
So I will be studying and praying and attempting to discern what God would have me share with you on the 6th about how our faith in God interacts with our lives as American citizens. Pray for me as we walk that journey together. I have a feeling that this sermon might be a bit different than what you've heard before. Who knows....maybe not!
...did I mention I'm also connecting it to gathering around the table for Communion? Ought to be interesting, if nothing else!
I'll leave you with a quote from a song by Christian musician Derek Webb (formerly of the group Caedmon's Call)
A King and a Kingdom
My first allegiance is not to a flag, a country, or a man.
My first allegiance is not to democracy or blood.
It's to a king & a kingdom.
