Division is a Choice | Jesus and Politics

This political season, everyone’s talking about who you should vote for and what you should believe, but as followers of Jesus, we believe there’s actually a bigger decision at stake. In this message, Pastor Todd is kicking off a new series called “Jesus and Politics” and exploring the question, “What’s left for the sake of being right?”

How I wish the church would take a strong stand on what to look for in a political leader according to the word of God. We only get a “be nice to each other “ message.

[@ChristFellowship.Church]

As it turns out, Christians need that sort of foundation.

100,000 PERCENT! I left today so completely put off

[@cedarmantrees2286]

Walked out and unsure if i will be back. I feel that there pushing a political agenda and thats not the place of the church. Sad day for me.

[@paulettebryan8077]

@@cedarmantrees2286I almost walked out myself, especially when I heard that the criminals walking across the southern border were “souls”. I’m an immigrant and I went through legal channels to enter this country, and I made sure to honor the constitution and the laws of this country. Murderers are “souls”. Rapists are “souls”. Does that mean we condone their acts?

[@thehylers1021]

Greatest commandment as Jesus said...Love God, and love your neighbor as yourself. We just don't want to do this. Our worst human inclinations fueled by the enemy.🙏💗

[@upschutt4842]

Thank you for continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough. God surely is at work and I long to see what He is doing behind the scenes

[@tammyboland409]

We need God as the foundation of government, and in our schools

[@thehylers1021]

We need God as the foundation of the family, no matter what the government is all about. It's our responsibility to raise our children, not the government.

[@dianepatterson6407]

Excellent sermon, so true in this society.

[@vivshk13]

I agree❤

[@cynthialima3111]

This was so needed!! Thank you Todd!!

[@ChristFellowship.Church]

Glad it was helpful!

GOD’S PEOPLE WE ARE FREE TO WORSHIP BECAUSE THE POLITICAL CHOICES OUR PAST GENERATIONS FIGHT FOR AND MANY LOSE LIVES FOR FREEDOM WE HAVE TODAY TO WORSHIP IN CHURCHES NOT UNDER COMMUNISM PERSECUTIONS BUT JUST ANOTHER SEASON FOR MANY PEOPLE 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼ONE NATION UNDER GOD

[@thegreatrandomchannel338]

What “communist persecutions” you are referring to ? Do you really believe that’s a threat in this country ?? Just asking honestly

[@anitakogel8199]

If people know the Bible and need to Vote on God says Knew you before in mothers Womb !! We need to see wickedness and ❤ of people truth prevails , integrity , honesty character ! No Lukewarm weak believes ! We need Prodicals to come home ! A great Awakening is coming to America ! My John Wesley a prodical and is back in church and say more Lord more!! Attends Tues nights cf young adults ! We must keep them fired up in the Word!! ❤

[@thegreatrandomchannel338]

It is shameful ( and incredible ) that we as Jesus followers need ti be preached on “respecting and loving” our adversaries ! We need lots of growing up here

[@thegreatrandomchannel338]

🧐🧐🧐 Aren’t we as Jesus followers need to be DIFFERENT than the World , and not from each other ( as per these issues this pastor talks about ) ?? Why such great POLARIZATION among us believers? Dont we know the truth ? Don’t we have the truth ( the word of God )??? Why then so different from each other???

[@ChristFellowship.Church]

The fact that we have such polarization likely points to the fact that we are NOT basing our views on Scripture. But even if we are, the desired policies associated with a Biblical conviction can vary.

[@mstepski]

It's a nice message, but it was weak. Maybe that is the type of diplomacy we need, maybe not.

[@thehylers1021]

Each person is responsible for their own values and beliefs, followed by loving and caring about their family. Love God, and love your neighbor as yourself. I don't compromise on my values but I don't need you to agree with me. Praying for everyone 🙏

[@renatabrasil2222]

ONE NATION 🇮🇱🇺🇸🇧🇷UNDER GOD 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@thehylers1021]

That's not a scripture. One nation under God, when that was said or written meant only white men who could own land and vote. Women and blacks were property and had no rights.

[@SeanPaulPhoto]

Ok so 24min in, but (so far) this seems like just a bunch of words and expressions and colloquialisms that just say to follow the Bible's teachings more without actually providing any teachings from Jesus?

[@SeanPaulPhoto]

I do appreciate the message that "we're not left, and we're not right", "we're actually up people"

[@SeanPaulPhoto]

I guess all I really want to know is, after all the cards are laid flat is Trump the person to put in the Whitehouse? And I'm sure you could say stay tuned for all the important messages to follow, but then why mention division & politics in the first place then? Sorry just a jaded skeptic church-goer here (not even your church just in the area), and always looking out for insight and answers.

[@thegreatrandomchannel338]

This pastor may have not specifically mentioned “Jesus” much in his message, but if you know Bible, what this pastor is preaching are attributes and values that Jesus actually teaches .

[@ChristFellowship.Church]
