Join us for week 38 of our expository series, "The Book of Mark," as Pastor Paul Ortiz tackles the challenging topic of "God and Politics" in Mark 12:13-17. In this thought-provoking sermon, Pastor Paul explores Jesus's famous response to the Pharisees and Herodians who tried to trap Him with questions about paying taxes to Caesar. Discover how Jesus's wisdom transcends political divisions and reveals deeper truths about our allegiance to God versus earthly authorities. Learn what it truly means to "render to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's," and how this passage challenges common misconceptions about the separation of church and state. Pastor Paul provides biblical insight into the Christian's relationship with government, the limits of political authority, and why our ultimate citizenship lies in heaven. Be encouraged to examine your heart and priorities as you navigate the intersection of faith and politics in today's world.
