Allegiance | Week 4 | Pray for those to be elected so that we might live in peace

⁷ Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its welfare you will have welfare.’

Jeremiah 29:7 (NASB)

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—² for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 1 Timothy 2:1–2 (NIV)

Bret Andrews

What if this election was about discipleship?

Five questions to consider:

1. 1. Are you more concerned about influencing people to vote “the right way,” or helping disciples think and act biblically?

1. 1. If Jesus were truly King over our every political belief, attitude, and action, in what areas would He challenge you?

1. 1. Do any of your political conclusions trace their genealogy to unbiblical origins?

1. 1. What does it look like for us to be responsible citizens?

1. 1. What would it look like if your ambition were to double your gifts to pass on to the next generation?
