Gospel Witness in Political Chaos

May 18, 2025    Rev. Baly Botten

In this timely and compelling message, we’re invited to engage politics with bold civility—a posture shaped by 1 Peter 3. This isn’t about softening convictions, but about holding fast to truth while showing radical respect and dignity to others. With a striking comparison between the early church under Nero and today’s climate of division, we’re reminded that our ultimate allegiance is to Christ, not a political party. The message challenges us to ask: Are we being formed more into the image of Jesus, or just louder versions of ourselves? This call to be a “peculiar people” in how we engage politically is both deeply convicting and profoundly hopeful.
