What is idolatry? anything you place above God.

Matthew 6:24

1 John 2:15-17

How can the idol of POLITICS be used more generally than just government politics?

“All idols begin by offering great things for a very small price. All idols then fail to deliver on their promises, while ratcheting up their demands … In the end, they fail completely. They will ask for more and more, while giving less and less, until eventually, they demand everything and give nothing.” (Andy Crouch in “Playing God”)

QUESTION: What am I ultimately placing my trust in?

Acts of the Apostles 1:6-8

What "powers" did Jesus speak out against?

Romans 13:1-2

Romans 13:8

What do OLIVES have to do with politics?

Matthew 6:33

John 13:34

Do those you disagree with know that YOU LOVE THEM?
Do those in power and authority around you know that YOU LOVE THEM?
Do you love the kingdom of God OR the kingdom of mankind?

BENEDICTION:
Go now, and wherever people will hear you,
proclaim the life-changing love of God.
Do not fear your weakness,
for when you are weakest, Christ’s strength is known.
Travel lightly, live simply,
and honor those who welcome the gospel.

And may God be your protection and safe haven;
May the power of Christ Jesus dwell in you;
and may the Holy Spirit be your guide forever.

We go in peace to love and serve the Lord,
In the name of Christ. Amen.
