Cultural Engagement

Pastor Bill Bush · Apr 30, 2018

Drawing from Ecclesiastes 4 and Matthew 16, this sermon argues that political power and activism — though real gifts from God that Christians should steward — are ultimately unable to deliver the lasting security, stability, and satisfaction only Jesus can provide. Solomon's ancient observation that leaders rise and fall like the wind mirrors every generation's experience. The answer is not disengagement from civic life, but a reordering of priorities: letting our theology shape our politics, spreading the gospel of Jesus more fervently than any political platform, and engaging our culture with love so that people see Jesus rather than just another argument.
