Who Will Truly Lead Us?

Audrey Barton, preaching

This Sunday, we may not know yet who our next national leaders will be. We will all be anxious; we will all continue to be anxious when the results are known. Even if our preferred candidates are chosen, the likelihood is high for a disrupting backlash or despairing resignation among those, on either side, who feel they are being left out.

But here's the thing: neither outcome will be the primary factor determining our well-being as individuals, a believing community, and a society. As this Psalm proclaims, God is the one who has the power, along with the attentive and liberative care, to protect us and provide what we need.

What does this mean, though, practically? How exactly does God act in our human affairs? We see the righteous all around the world still suffering. Please explore with me this Sunday, what might be the way for God to work redemptively in our national and local communities, regardless of who sits in power in Washington,

Based on Psalm 146
