Render To Caesar What Is Caesar's

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Oct 18, 2014

Seemingly a Catch 22 position, yet Jesus wonderfully side steps the controversary. By using the Gk word "apodote" Jesus challenges us even today: "The coin bore Caesar's image: give it back to him. You bear God's image: so give yourself back to Him."

Sermon: Render to Caesar what is Caesars’s Story: A man came to an Anglican Church and asked to see the Vicar. “Vicar,” he said, “My dog died and I would like a Christian burial for him.” The Vicar said, “I’m sorry to hear about your dog, but we ...read more

Be Radical For Jesus! Or Other Radicals Will Fill The Void!

Preach, Hear, Follow.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 21, 2013
