About this message
In this message is all about understanding the power dynamics between government and the church and how it relates to our faith. We'll delve into the interaction between Pontius Pilate and Jesus as a key story and explore the idea that Christians, and specifically pastors, have a responsibility to fear God first, even if it means defying the state. Using biblical examples, such as the Hebrew midwives who refused to kill the Hebrew boys, Rahab who hid the Jewish spies, Daniel who refused to stop praying, even when faced with the lion's den, and the ultimate example of Peter after Pentecost who boldly confronted the Jewish Sanhedrin, we'll see how Christians are called to be the conscience of their nation. To pray for it, to fight for peace, and when necessary, to stand in defiance of a government that is hell-bent on oppression and destruction.
