SUNDAY RECAP

January 9, 2022 | Mark 12:13-17 | “Pay Your Taxes & Die”

Main point: Pledge allegiance to the flag, but give your life to God.

  1. The Question - Mark 12:13-14

  2. The Answer - Mark 12:15-17

  3. The Implications

    • Pledge allegiance to the flag—regardless of who’s in the White House.

    • Pay your taxes—regardless of whether you agree with how the money is spent.

    • Pray for your political leaders—but pray for the nations more. 

    • Present your entire life to the Lord.

“If we give back to God what has his image on it, we must all give ourselves to him. . . . We may be obligated to pay taxes to Caesar, but we owe everything, our very being, to God.” D.A. Carson
