In The Way | Politics | Week 2

/> ### MESSAGE NOTESIn The Way | Politics | Week 2 | September 15, 2024Teacher: Adam Barnett/> 1.    Jesus demands our ultimate allegiance. /> Anyone who loves a father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and anyone who loves a son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.  - Matthew 10:37-38/> My Christian identity is superior to my political affiliation./> 2.    My peace and hope are in Jesus, not the Oval Office./> Christ and _____________ is not the gospel of Jesus Christ./> 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! 10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.  – Galatians 1:6-10/> 3.    No matter what, God is in control. /> God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.   Psalms 47:8/> Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. – Matthew 28:18 /> 4.    This is not our home, but it still matters./> And work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare.  - Jeremiah 29:7 /> 5.    Allow the Bible to influence your vote./> … But the word of the Lord endures forever.– 1 Peter 1:25 /> 6.    Choose your words wisely.  /> “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”   - Ephesians 4:29   /> 7.    Pray for our next President.
