Church and State: Navigating a Divided World with Joshua Liem
1 Peter 2:5, 9-20
In a world that feels more politically divided by the day, how are followers of Jesus supposed to respond? The Bible has been used to justify everything from silent submission to radical protest, and the Church's own history is filled with both beautiful and horrifying examples of its engagement with state power. This Sunday, we’ll dive into a challenging passage from 1 Peter to find a surprising and prophetic path forward— one that calls us to be faithful exiles who seek the peace of our city with both the compassion of the cross and the courage to flip tables. Join us as we explore what it means to be a holy nation in a hurting world.
