     | 12,010 views

    Jesus says, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's" (Matt 22:21). Most sermons on this verse deal with the first part of this verse, but what does the second part mean? What does it mean to render to God?

    MAIN TEXT: Matt 22:15-22 (parallels in Mark 12:13–17 and Luke 20:20–26) The Jews were desperately seeking to discredit Jesus, because within the context, He was speaking parables against them. They would stop at nothing to do so. Within the context of this verse, various groups ask Him ...read more

     | 5,828 views

    Why were the Pharisees wanting to try to trick Jesus? The reason why they wanted to try and trick Jesus was because Jesus’s authority rivaled their own! In trying to force Jesus to choose a side, they hoped to get Jesus to incriminate Himself.

    GIVE GOD WHAT IS HIS Text: Matthew 22:15 - 22 How many times have you heard someone say something like, “I only have to do two things, pay taxes and die”? Now they even have a new tax added on which is called by some a “death tax” which means that they tax the estate that is on by a ...read more

     | 2,824 views

    Since we are made in God’s image (Genesis 1:26,27) all of who we are belong to God! How well and how often do we take that timeless advice---giving to God what belongs to Him?

    Matthew 22:15-21  Then the Pharisees went and plotted to entrap him in what he said.  (16)  So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach the way of God in accordance with truth, and show deference to no ...read more

     | 3,095 views

    Many Christians worried that America will become more liberal under the new leader and leave Christian values. As Christians who want to do God's commands, how should we respond to our country's leader biblically, especially if we disagree with his policies?

    There are many ways we can learn to "see" God and His hand. Jesus used nature at times. He also used a coin to point to God. Our money points to Him, too.
