Jesus gives three words of encouragement to strengthen you as you long for the presence of Christ.

“When the Government Becomes a Tyrant”

Jeremiah 26:1-24 - Jerry Scheumann

How are we to respond to those in civil authority when they become tyrants? In Jeremiah 26, we see a snapshot of tyranny and what God requires of lesser civil authorities and the people in the face of such tyranny. 

Jesus gives three words of encouragement to strengthen you as you long for the presence of Christ.

“Proper Spheres of Authority”

Matthew 22:15-22 - Jerry Scheumann

In calling us to ‘Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar,’ Jesus is teaching that civil government has a limited, God-given jurisdiction. As we look at the whole of God’s Word, we see that God has instituted 3 forms of government—family, church, and civil—all with their own sphere of responsibility.
