What Does Jesus Say About Politics? | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

Politics is exhausting. And if you’re honest, it’s probably shaping more of how you see the world than you realize. The question Jesus asks is a harder one: Is your primary identity shaped more by him, or by your politics?
In this message, Pastor Ellis walks through what Jesus actually says about politics, and why it’s less about which positions you hold and more about where your deepest allegiance belongs.

2. What “render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s” actually means: Caesar gets coins, but he doesn’t get your identity, your allegiance, or your soul
3. Six honest questions to help you assess whether politics is shaping you more than Jesus is
4. Two practical steps for this week: unplugging, and reaching back toward a relationship that politics has pulled apart

If you’re tired of feeling like politics is pulling you apart, this message is for you.
