Today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer.

The Gospel has political implications.

God has called his people to be salt and light in all spheres of society,

and to bring his chalom that word means peace into every dimension.

The earth is the lords and all the fullness thereof. The sea is his

for he made it and his hands formed the dry land. There is not one square inch of the entire

cosmos over which Jesus does not emphatically declare mine. Welcome to Summit Life, the Bible Teaching Ministry of Pastor J.D. Greer. I'm your host, Molly Vittevich.

Today we're continuing our brand new teaching series called Flags, and Pastor J.D. explores several myths that are common in our approach to politics, both outside

and inside the church.

By focusing instead on Jesus' revolutionary claim to pilot in John 18, we'll see that Jesus' kingdom puts

every other earthly kingdom and political party into stark perspective.

It's a picture that can transform cynicism and despair

into hope and urgency.

Anyone need a dose of that in our current political climate?

Thankfully, God's word can bring it. So grab your Bible in a notebook and

we'll start in John chapter 18.

We are in a series called flags and in this series I'm trying to persuade you to rally behind a different flag this November.

In ancient Israel, the Israelites called God, I explained this last weekend, they called

God Jehovah Nissi, which translates literally as the Lord is my flag, the Lord is the

banner that I march behind.

As Christians, we live as strangers and exiles in this country,

which means that we belong to it.
