Because Jesus is our King, we don’t worry about election results the way people who are citizens of earth do. We know no matter which party holds office, no matter who is president, our God still holds the world and Jesus is still King. (Romans 15:8-13) Speaker: Kyle Idleman

As we end our Separation of Church and Hate series—just before the election—we embrace Paul’s teaching of humility, calling our people to be humble in all they do, including approaching the upcoming and following weeks in a way that honors Jesus. (Romans 15:1-7) Speaker: Kyle Idleman

After teaching Roman Christians to accept each other and to live thoughtfully, Paul moves on to unity. As a church we want to embrace what it looks like to “make every effort” to keep the peace and ensure everyone is united around what matters most. (Romans 14 :19-23) Speaker: Carl Kuhl

As Paul discusses the issue dividing Christians at the time—whether they could eat meat sacrificed to an idol—he presents an unexpected conclusion: thoughtfulness. How do we handle issues that divide us today? Not just by being right, but thoughtful. (Romans 14: 14-18) Speaker: Kyle Idleman

So many people are divided over political opinions and affiliations, as well as a host of other issues. As we dive into Romans 14, we are invited to practice unity through accepting one another the way Jesus has accepted us. (Romans 14:1-13) Speaker: Kyle Idleman

How do you live as a Christian in a culture and with a government that is often unfriendly or even against you? Paul invites us to live lives of love. This election season is an opportunity to display the one hope that doesn’t disappoint—Jesus. (Romans 13:8-14) Speaker: Kyle Idleman

Paul instructs Christians to “be subject to the governing authorities.” What does it look like for us today—especially in our polarized political climate—to be subject to the governing authorities while following Jesus faithfully? (Romans 13:1-7) Speaker: Carl Kuhl

Look around and you won’t find much harmony or peace, but Christians are called to live in harmony. That may have seemed like wise advice for righteous living in the past but today seems radical. Yet, we are to live out the radical way of Jesus. Romans 12 : 14-21 Speaker: Kyle Idleman

If we really love, we’ll move from selfish to selfless lives. Paul instructs us to never be lazy, to serve enthusiastically, to practice hospitality, and to be ready to help God’s people when in need. What might that look like for us today? (Romans 12 : 11-13) Speaker: Matt Reagan

How will the full force of the church be unleashed? Love. In a world full of dissension, conflict, and anger, the church will stand out and be a city on a hill if it lives out the love of God. How can we really love, and what impact could it make? (Romans 12:9-10) Speaker: Carl Kuhl

We long to connect with others, but the process of building authentic community can be a mystery or filled with painful memories. Yet, God wants us to experience genuine connection with others and has a plan for developing those deep relationships. (Romans 12:9-13) Speaker: Chip Ingram
