Politics, Media, Romans, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

We continue our study of the most influential, life-changing, worldview-shaping letter ever written: Romans. It is a timeless, divinely-inspired masterpiece on the joy-filled-life-as-it-should-be freedom found in Jesus alone. For eleven chapters, Paul unfolds the heights and depths of the gospel of Jesus. Then, in chapters 12-16, he turns to apply God’s mercies to our many relationships: our self conception (12:1-2), our gifts (vs. 3-8), to Jesus’ people (vs. 9-16), to our enemies (vs. 17-21), and today, to our relationship with the governing authorities (13:1-7).

Politics, Media, Politics in the Life of the Church | by Jonathan Leeman

In this third session of a three-part workshop, pastor and author Jonathan Leeman helps us navigate how to love other church members when we disagree politically. We consider the reasons why this is such a difficult topic, followed by practical recommendations on loving one another and striving to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Politics, Media, Politics in the Life of the Church | by Jonathan Leeman

In this second session of a three-part workshop, pastor and author Jonathan Leeman helps us navigate how Christians should think about politics. How does the Bible dictate what it means to be a citizen? How can Christians make a political impact? We address these questions by considering the scriptural basis, and bounds, for our political engagement.

Politics, Media, Psalms: Walking With God, Sermons | by Jonathan Leeman

We continue our series in the Psalms that runs parallel to our series in Romans. The purpose of this study is to learn from the psalmists what it means to faithfully walk with God through the ups-and-downs of life in a world marred by sin. Today, in Psalm 2, we consider how the reality of Jesus’ kingship over the nations helps us navigate times of political turmoil with confidence and hope.

This sermon also serves as the first session of a three-part workshop, Politics in the Life of the Church, with pastor and author Jonathan Leeman. For a full list of sessions and video recordings, visit our event webpage here.

Politics, 1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

1 Peter is an ancient letter written by the Apostle Peter, the beloved disciple of Jesus, between A.D. 62-63 from Rome, to churches spread throughout Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). His aim was to encourage them—and us—to stand firm (1 Pet. 5:12) amidst trials, persecution, and heartache in a world that is not our true home. Today in 1 Peter 2:13-17, Peter describes how we should relate to the world politically, in light of who we are.
