We pledge allegiance to a part, but Jesus pledges his life to make us whole. (1 Corinthians 1:10-18; Matthew 4:12-23)
As you listen to the sermon, here are some questions you can reflect on to deepen your spiritual connection with God:
1) In what ways do you withdraw from the national conflict? In what ways do you engage it?
2) To what or to whom do you pledge your allegiance? Why?
3) How does your heritage help you to care for those who do not share it?
