Matthew 22:15-22 | You’ve likely heard it said: “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and give to God the things that are God’s.” It seems pretty cut and dry, almost suggesting a separation between the things that we give to “Caesar” and the things we give to God. But is it as black-and-white as it seems at first glance? Join us this weekend as we consider the context in which Jesus spoke these words and as we hear Jesus’ invitation to give ourselves, fully, to God as Christ’s representatives in the world.
