Scripture That Makes You Say Wow! (Matt 16:21-28)

Oak Hills Church, Folsom

So, tell me, how do we look family when in the eyes of God we hold on to titles like democrat or republican or any other title to save us instead of the presence and will of God. We may look to these titles to save us but trust me every time we are met with the sinful grasp of humanity, none of these titles can save us. Only the presence of God in our own lives can do that. And I don't know about you but the Jesus I know isn't a Democrat, and he isn't a republican either. In fact, I'm not even sure Jesus is American. The Jesus I know has his own kingdom. This is why I love the kingdom of God. See the kingdom compels us to trust in God and lean on one another in community. The kingdom, both holds us accountable and holds us as beloved, within the presence of God. The kingdom isn't just a title or a label it is a living reality and it is grounded fully in what God is doing right now, right here.
