Navigating Faith and Politics: Staying Focused on Our Primary Mission

In a climate of political tension and division, how do we stay
focused as followers of Christ? This video dives into "Navigating
Faith and Politics," addressing pivotal truths for Christians
during this election cycle and beyond. With elections and
politics dominating today's discourse, it's essential to ask: Are
we more focused on political victories or the mission entrusted
to us by Jesus?





In this message we take a look at what God's Word says about how
we, as Christ-followers, are meant to represent Him throughout
this political season. Are we engaging in discourse with humility
and love, ensuring our actions reflect Jesus? Delve into the
primary mission Jesus gave 2,000 years ago in Matthew 28:19-20:
to make disciples by embodying Christ-like love and
humility. 





We are called to be salt and light in a broken world. It
emphasizes the centrality of Jesus and the eternal Kingdom over
earthly political kingdoms. Calming fears and reminding us where
our ultimate hope lies, this message helps realign our hearts
with God's purpose, regardless of political outcomes.

- Romans 12:2 on renewing our minds


- Matthew 5:13-16 on being salt and light


- Matthew 28:19-20 on the Great Commission
