Our Relationship to the State
Sep 15, 2024 • Debbie Courtney
This sermon is a breakdown of Romans 13, which explores the Christian's relationship with the state. Preaching elder, Debbie Courtney, highlights four key reasons for Christians to be subject to the laws of the state: fear of God's wrath, a clear conscience, love for one another, and the imminent return of Christ. She further emphasizes that a right relationship with God will naturally lead to a right relationship with others, including the state. The sermon ultimately aims to establish a framework for Christian living in a political context, emphasizing obedience to governing authorities while remaining steadfast in one's faith and love for God.
