Today, we will explore Mark 12, where Jesus is cornered with a question about paying taxes to Caesar. This wasn’t just a casual question, but a trap. However, in classic Jesus fashion, He flips the script and reminds us that while we might have to deal with government and politics, our true allegiance is to God.

It’s about recognizing that our primary identity isn’t found in a political party or candidate but in being citizens of God’s kingdom. Because at the end of the day, no matter who’s in power, Jesus is still on the throne.

Navigating our faith in the public sphere isn’t easy. In this series, we’ll explore how following Jesus should shape our conversations, decisions, and every action in these spaces. What if God wants to use this election season to grow your faith? Over the next several weeks, we will confront the subtle influences that try to mold us and challenge ourselves to let Jesus be the driving force behind everything we do.

If you’re ready to take your faith seriously in the places that matter most, this series is for you. Let’s pursue "The Way of Jesus in Public Spaces" together and see how He can transform our private beliefs and our public lives, too.
