About this sermon
Can we disagree about politics and still find common ground? In this opening message of the Issues That Divide series, Pastor Adam Hamilton takes an honest look at why America has become so polarized, from the rise of independents to the vitriol pastors and members of Congress face online, and asks what our faith actually has to say about how we treat people we disagree with. Drawing on conversations with a sitting congressman and a mediator who once led bipartisan retreats for the U.S. Congress, Adam makes the case that politics doesn't have to be a battle with winners and losers. Grounded in Jesus's words to do unto others as you would have them do to you, and Paul's call to let no evil talk come out of our mouths, this message sets the tone for the whole series: seeking to understand before being understood, and choosing to be bridge builders instead of wall builders. In this message: - Why America has grown more politically divided over the last 20 years - A conversation with a U.S. congressman on the pressure to never compromise - Why treating politics like a football game leads to gridlock - What a mediator who worked with Congress says democracy is missing - The Good Samaritan as a picture of loving across political lines - Two scripture memory verses to carry through this election season Subscribe for weekly messages from Church of the Resurrection, and find service times and locations at https://resurrection.church/worship. #IssuesThatDivide #ChristianFaith #AdamHamilton #Politics #ChurchOfTheResurrection #Sermon #LoveYourNeighbor
