Summary

Who Has Your Allegiance? Your Nation... or the Kingdom of God? Can a Christian faithfully serve both their country and the Kingdom of God? Or, when push comes to shove, must one always come first? Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters." But what if your nation's values appear to align with God's? Can patriotism and discipleship coexist? Where does your ultimate allegiance belong? Building on last week's discussion, the guys explore one of the most challenging questions Christians face today: the Kingdom of God versus the kingdoms of this world . Scripture teaches that followers of Christ are citizens of another Kingdom—one that often stands in tension with every earthly nation. How should Christians think about nationalism, patriotism, political identity, and loyalty to Jesus? Join us as we wrestle with this timely and thought-provoking conversation. Because the best conversations happen after class.
