God and Caesar: The Ancient-Modern Clash of Sovereignty and Spiritual Authority

Join us for an enlightening exploration of the intersection between divine sovereignty and political power in "God and Caesar." This program delves into biblical texts, particularly the Old Testament, to analyze the foundational concepts of nationhood, sovereignty, and governance. Engaging with themes from Genesis to the modern-day implications in political discourse, we aim to uncover what we can learn from historical empires like Rome and the challenges facing nations today. Participate in the discussion and broaden your understanding of faith in America.
