Christ Is King Over Politics, Power, and Fear

Politics matters because people matter, but politics is never ultimate. When political outcomes begin controlling our peace, identity, security, and hope, politics has started carrying a weight that belongs to Christ alone. In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins draws from Psalm 2 and additional passages to explain how the present reign of Christ should shape the Christian's response to elections, leaders, government, cultural instability, and fear. Dave considers the dangers of political obsession, disengagement, tribalism, emotional dependence, and misplaced trust. He also explains how Christians can care deeply about truth, justice, righteousness, life, and religious liberty without becoming consumed by panic or outrage. Governments can restrain evil, but they cannot regenerate the human heart. Political movements cannot reconcile sinners to God. Our ultimate hope is not found in human power, favorable leadership, or cultural influence, but in the unshakable kingdom and sovereign authority of Jesus Christ.
