a. Understanding the good
“In order to pursue the kingdom without the King, we have had to dethrone the person of Christ and install abstract values instead. The problem should be obvious: persons can forgive you; values cannot. Values can only judge you…we have ditched the story, anonymized the Hero and kept the morals – and now we wonder why our kingdom without the King is not a place of liberation so much as a place of judgment.”

THIS WEEK'S TAKEAWAYS
Key Theme:
We are to incorporate our faith into our civic duty seeking the good of our nation, defined by God’s word through the mechanisms in place in our government.
Key Application:
We should vote and be involved letting God’s word direct not only the what (who to vote for, what policies matter, etc,) but also the how (conducting ourselves in a Christlike manner).
Key Verse:
Jeremiah 29:7 “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”
Key Questions:
1. How can you balance your role as a citizen of God's kingdom and your responsibilities as a citizen of your country, especially when the two seem to conflict?
2. How can unbiblical views of freedom to worship, life, gender, and marriage affect other policies negatively?
3. How do you determine what policies matter for a candidate? Is that Biblical?

Give Online
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.
