This week we answer the question “what does it mean to be a Christian who is an American?” What does the Bible say? Not a podcast or talk radio or Facebook or the so-called conservative media or even a “Christian” politician. What does Jesus say, and how did his followers in the 1st century understand the intersection of faith and politics – citizenship on earth and citizenship in heaven?
To begin, we’ll explore what is perhaps the most familiar“ political” story in the Bible. Read Matthew 22:15-22 as you prepare to join your GCC family for worship this weekend.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ transformed everything when the women found an empty tomb instead of a dead body. This event validates Jesus as the only solution to humanity's sin problem and demonstrates the power available to transform lives today. Three essential questions determine your relationship with Christ: Do you believe you are a sinner and Jesus is your Savior? Have you personally called on Him for salvation? Do you consider yourself dead to sin and alive to God? When you surrender to Jesus, you receive a new identity as God's child, a new perspective filled with hope, direct access to God through prayer, and power over sin. The same resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead can transform any area of your life.
