THIS WEEK'S TAKEAWAYS
Key Theme:
All authority, including governments, is instituted by God and has a purpose both generally and specifically through appointed leaders.
Key Application:
As King of kings and Lord of lords our hope is in Jesus as the overarching authority and our role as believers is to obey his manifesto for our lives.
Key Verse:
Colossians 1:16 “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.”
Key Questions:
1. How does the belief that all authority is instituted by God (Romans 13:1) shape our understanding of both good and bad leaders throughout history?
2. What is the role of government according to scripture, and how should Christians respond when governments fail to fulfill their God-given purpose? Though we have not discussed this yet begin to try and process Biblically.
3. What does it mean to confess "Jesus is Lord" in a political sense, and how should this confession shape Christian involvement in public life?

Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
