Who is Your King?
Who do we give authority to as King? Do we give authority to the State or to God? Citing examples from Israel's Old Testament history Joel McDurmon shows how our current predicament is no different from Israel's desire to have an earthly king ruling over them.

When Others See I'm Right
Paul demonstrates gospel-driven confrontation as he shows us how to handle conflict and disagreement in the church. We see the five step process for what it means to “agree in the Lord,” which enables us to get along with anyone we disagree with in the church.

For God's Sake, Yes We Can
In this text of 1 Peter, we are called to submit ourselves to every human authority. The Christian life is not just about quiet times and church services. Rather Jesus should affect every aspect of our lives - including the way we relate to the governing authorities over us. Hear the Word of the Lord. And find out how Christ wants us to live in this world for the next.

Jesus > Church Politics
Too often in the church we think that we are in control. Church leaders often get the idea that the church belongs to them and that they are the ones calling the shots. Paul resonating with Peter is putting the leadership of the church directly on the shoulders of the one who is THE Senior Pastor (1 Peter 5:4). The opinion of many new and non-Christians is that the church is too political and in many cases they are correct. The job of every Christian is to follow THE Chief Shepherd (Jesus) and allow the life that He lives out corporately through us to reflect his Love, Grace, Truth, and Mission. Jesus promised to build His Church on Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Son of God. As Christians we are not building our church or our Kingdom we are merely following Jesus as He builds his Church through us!

Jesus for President
Jesus for President? It almost sounds funny to put those words in the same sentence. In our day when we are so very careful to keep religion and politics separate, it may be difficult to face the reality that the Revelation is a strikingly political book of insubordination against an anti-Christian "empire". While John uses "veiled" language to build his case, it is clear that the ruling empire of the day (Rome) was being implicated as an instrument of Satan! Wow! Can you imagine the pressure we would face if we stood against the state with such vitriolic words? But remember - John was a prisoner of the state! And he wasn't there for towing the party line! He was there because the reigning powers of the day saw danger in the eyes of this little old man! What does the world see when they look in your eyes or mine? Perhaps it's no coincidence that we are talking politics in an election week! Revelation 12-15 is our text - hold on for the ride!
