Good people of faith will come to different conclusions in the voting booth. With this year’s election just days away, Pastor Mia tackles the topics of humility, immigration, and border control.

Many Americans agree the current immigration system is not working well, but the desired changes differ vastly among us. Some want tighter immigration controls and others a more generous immigration system. So how do we reconcile those differences to find peace across the divide?

Humility and humor are tools that can help us make connections. Remembering that our common commitment to Christ is bigger than our political ideologies is helpful too. The compassion that transforms the world is always about real people, not ideals.

You can only hold hardline positions if you have no lived experience. Therefore, we need to know the stories of real people. Nurturing your compassion with their accounts and the words of Scripture is faithful and responsible. As we head to the polls, we must remember the Christian teaching “Do unto others” applies during election seasons.

Jesus' teaching to "Do Unto Others" applies at all times, even election season. This week Pastor Mia dives into the issue of abortion from a compassion perspective.

As we delve into this series, we confront the challenges of living out Jesus' teachings in today's polarized political climate. We are called to view voting as an expression of faith, addressing today's issues from a Christian perspective. The goal is not to dictate political choices but to guide us in positioning ourselves as Christians in political decision-making, emphasizing love and compassion. This sermon highlights the importance of recognizing Jesus as our Savior, not any political candidate. This perspective shifts our approach to citizenship and voting, moving from anxiety to trust in God's sovereignty. We are encouraged to apply Christ's teachings consistently, even in politics, and to strive to be Christ followers . Compassion, a non-optional aspect of our faith, is emphasized as a transformative force in the world, urging us to do good without expecting anything in return.
