WORSHIP AT FPC
Dear FPC Family,
We're deep into Lent now, the halfway point behind us, Holy Week drawing closer. The wilderness feels less like a metaphor and more like the dailiness of choosing again to pay attention, to resist what diminishes, and to make space for God.
This Sunday's text from Mark 12:13–17 takes us to a trap laid for Jesus. The Pharisees and Herodians come with a question designed to ensnare: "Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?" It's a political minefield, but Jesus doesn't sidestep it. He asks for a coin, holds it up, and offers one of his most quoted (and most misunderstood) responses: "Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor's, and to God the things that are God's."
What belongs to God? What belongs to Caesar? And how do we live faithfully when those claims seem to compete? Come ready to engage your imagination for what God is doing.
The coin bears Caesar's image. But you bear God's. This week, may you remember whose you are and what that means for how you live.
We'll gather for worship and continue this journey together.
Blessings,
Pastor Taeler
