1. You Asked for It: How does the Church relate to the government (and what kind of Government does the Church uniquely have?)? What about immigration, abortion, and how do we speak the truth in love to those across the political isle (without getting caught up in "the swarm")?2. Sermon Discussion(a) Daniel: Revelation 2:12-17 Letter to the Church in Pergamum: Scales, Blindfolds, and Swords: What true liberty and justice look like in light of the One who is coming with a double-edged sword in judgement.(b) Jeremy: James 2:14-28 What Exactly Are the Works of Faith? Not works of the Law, Not works of Morality, Not Works of Merit, but a Certain Kind of Obedience (Find further reflections on Pastor Jeremy's Substack post: There's No Such Thing as Biblical Morality).3.
