Mark 12:13-17 // What Belongs to God? (Preached on March 22, 2026)

Jesus is confronted by Pharisees in the temple courts with a political question designed to ensnare Him. Jesus amazes everyone with His theological answer, even as He refuses to conform to the parameters they laid down. In this passage, we discover what belongs to Caesar, but more importantly, what belongs to God. Jesus' answer also gives us principles to consider when wrestling with questions of church and state.
