Arguing About Politics

The Pharisees pose a controversial question to Jesus when they ask him if they should pay taxes. Jesus responds with a revolutionary answer: He refuses political complacency, political simplicity, and political primacy. Jesus then models a revolutionary idea, showing his followers that the way to gain power is to give it away. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on July 15, 2001. Series "Arguing With Jesus". Scripture: Mark 12:13-17
