SERIES: The Politics of Community
MESSAGE: Write in Candidate
TEXT: Mt 5:13-16
SYNOPSIS: having established that the church is inherently political and must be the place where we give our loyalty to none other than God, it's time to get a little more practical. How do we do this? How to be in the world but not of it? How to engage without hoping in the structures that be? We have to retain our identity as the church, the identity that Jesus lays out in the Sermon on the Mount at the end of the Beatitudes.
