Good Politics: What Do We Desire?
Message begins at 22:00. Pew Research Center found that 65 percent of people always or often feel exhausted when thinking about politics. Only 4 percent of people think the American political system is working extremely or very well. So why are we starting a short series of conversations exploring the intersection of American politics, Jesus, and you and me? What’s the point? That’s exactly what we’re asking. What’s the point of politics? Or what should it be? What does Jesus have to say about it? It’s more than you think
Scripture References: 1 Samuel 8:1-9
From Series: "Good Politics"
Data shows that most people are exhausted at even the thought of politics. Additionally, most people don’t have hope in politics, and they definitely don’t want to hear more from the church on the subject. So, why talk about it? Politics has such a giant influence on our lives and our world, and as we’ll see, Jesus and his followers were more political than you’d think. These conversations will give us a helpful spiritual framework, hope, and practical thoughts for how faith and politics work together.
