How do you exalt Jesus during a presidential election? Some Christians think this involves promoting a particular political agenda, while others want the church to denounce a certain candidate or party. One consequence of these kinds of approaches is that the church loses its distinctive witness to the gospel of Christ. In this message from 1 Peter 2:13–17, David Platt points us to some foundational biblical foundations for exalting Jesus in an election and beyond. Instead of putting our trust in and given our allegiance to worldly leaders, the church submits to and exalts the One who rules heaven and earth. We are united, even amidst political differences, around the Lord Jesus Christ.

We want to invite you to something we look forward to every year: Secret Church.

This year, we’ll study the life of Elijah. We’ll pray specifically for those who are suffering for their faith, and we’ll act together to make Jesus known among the nations. Early registration at the best rate is now open through February 17.
