SERMON POINT #1 \u2013 GOVERNMENT WAS ESTABLISHED BY GOD\n\nRomans 13:1 \u2013 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.\n\nSERMON POINT #2 \u2013 OUR HOPE IS NOT IN PEOPLE\n\nPsalm 146:1-5 \u2013 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul. I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Do not put your trust in princes, human beings, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God.\n\nSERMON POINT #3 \u2013 WE ARE CITIZENS OF GOD\u2019S KINGDOM FIRST\n\nJohn 18:36 \u2013 NLT \u2013 Jesus answered, \u201cMy Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.\u201d\n\nPhilippians 3:17-20 \u2013 NLT \u2013 Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. They are headed with destruction. Their God is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about life here on earth. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our savior.\n\nJeremiah 17:7-8 \u2013 NLT \u2013 But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are likes trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.\n\nSERMON POINT #4 \u2013 LET OUR FAITH INFORM OUR POLITICS, NOT OUR POLITICS INFORMING OUR FAITH\n\nColossians 2:8 \u2013 NLT \u2013 Don\u2019t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that comes from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.
