SERMON – A Countercultural Family | Romans 13:1–7

This sermon, "A Countercultural Family," preached on October 6, 2024, at Christ Community’s Shawnee campus, reflects on Romans 13 and the Christian's relationship to governing authorities. Delivered during an election season, this message wrestles with Paul’s teaching on submission to authority and how Christians live as a distinct, gospel-shaped family in a divided culture.I unpack:• Submitting to government as an act of trust in God’s sovereignty.• Practicing respectful disobedience when authorities oppose God’s commands.• Living with a renewed mind and transformed priorities.• Navigating allegiance to God above earthly powers.📖 Key Passage: Romans 13:1–7  🎧 Listen now: How do we honor God in our civic lives?👉 Subscribe, follow, and share this episode with someone thinking through faith and politics.
