“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. 

“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.
