Render to Caesar, Render to God

Oct 18, 2026  •  Pastor Daniel Gray

In this message, plots to entangle Jesus continue as the Pharisees, whose hearts have hardened, try to catch Jesus with a question.  “ ‘Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?’” (Matt. 22:17) In His wisdom, Jesus refuses to be ensnared. His words have continued their relevance as many Caesars have come and gone. The Lord is sovereign, and as citizens of this world, we honor our leaders and pray that God will guide them and accomplish His will through them. As citizens of the Kingdom of God, we trust in the finished work of Christ.
