About the Sermon

This message will dive into Jesus as the Lion of Judah, the one true King who reigns over everything—yes, even politics. We’ll explore the problem of political idolatry and how easy it is to slip into worshipping political leaders or parties instead of Jesus. Our loyalty belongs to the Lion, not the elephant or the donkey.

Peacemakers Over Partisans

Here, we look at what it means to be peacemakers in today’s politically charged environment. Instead of getting sucked into partisan battles, we’re called to bridge divides and bring peace. Jesus didn’t call us to be partisans—He called us to be peacemakers. So, how do we live this out when everything around us screams division? We’ll focus on how we can reflect the unity Jesus prayed for, even when we disagree politically.

Kingdom Values Over Political Agendas

This week is about aligning our priorities with the Kingdom of God, not the agendas of political parties. We’ll explore what it means to seek first the Kingdom, and how that shapes the way we engage with politics. Kingdom values—like justice, mercy, and humility—should guide our decisions, not party platforms. We’ll talk about what happens when Kingdom values clash with political agendas and how to respond as followers of Jesus.
