Should Christians Obey the Government

Should Christians Obey the Government

On Sunday morning, June 29, 2025, Cole Tuck delivered a timely and thought-provoking sermon titled “Should Christians Obey the Government?” He addressed the modern trend—even among Christians—of celebrating rebellion against governing authorities. Cole emphasized that Scripture calls for respect and submission to government leaders, except when obedience would violate God’s commands. Christians are to model humility, obedience, and godly speech, even when discussing political figures.

Talking Points:

  • The cultural popularity of political rebellion
  • Biblical view: rebellion is sin unless God’s commands are violated
  • Respectful speech, even about political leaders
  • Romans 13 and the Christian’s role in society
  • The contrast between worldly and godly citizenship
