Whose Kingdom Jesus? (Mark 12:13-17)

This Sunday as we look at the second of five interchanges in Mark 12 between Jesus and his opponents, we will examine one of the most profound and influential political statements ever made in the history of the world. Jesus challenges all of us with his call for Christians to obey both the state, and God. But what do we do if they conflict? This morning we will look first at the trap, then the question, and then Jesus’ answer.
