What Belongs to God | Walking in Wisdom (Matthew 22:15–22)

In this message from Pastor John Rallison at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Salem, Oregon, we begin the Walking in Wisdom series by exploring Jesus’ encounter with the Pharisees and Herodians in Matthew 22:15–22. When Jesus says, “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s,” He reveals more than a clever answer—He shows us how to live wisely in a confusing world.Discover what it means to see through life’s false choices, discern the heart behind people’s words, and live by faith as one who bears the image of God. True wisdom isn’t about being clever—it’s about belonging to God, trusting in Jesus Christ, and living as His redeemed child.Keywords:Christian wisdom, Walking in Wisdom series, Matthew 22:15–22 sermon, What belongs to God, Render unto Caesar, Lutheran sermon, Pastor John Rallison, Redeemer Lutheran Church Salem Oregon, Gospel message, image of God, Christian life application, faith and wisdom, biblical discernment, Jesus teaching on taxes, trusting Jesus, spiritual wisdom, sermon podcast, Sunday message.
