"Jesus is Lord"
Acts 10:36

What would it look like if Christians filtered their politics through their faith rather than filtering their faith through their politics?  

What does it mean that Jesus is both Creator of the earth and everything in it and also Lord (CEO and COO) of earth and all that happens on earth?  What does it mean that God's definition of Goodness must be filtered through Jesus' life of teaching the meaning of goodness by feeding the hungry and healing the sick, and then demonstrating goodness by dying on the cross for his enemies and then, exercising the greatest power on earth, by rising from the dead?

How does the answer to this question shape your votes on Election Day?   How would Jesus have you think about the issues?  How does a Jesus following believer think about health care, foreign policy, "America first", abortion, same sex marriage, immigration, the economy, free trade and all the rest?  Does Jesus shape your thinking or do you follow a god which you have created in the image of your presuppositions?

Beginning this Sunday we will address these questions and more.  See you at 9:00 or 10:30!   Bring a curious friend!!
