We like to think that Sloth is just laziness. It's the couch potato munching Cheetos and watching series over and over again on Netflix. But are we content with this definition because it keeps us from being convicted by our own lack of love and joy? Join City Church as we learn about sloth and it's connection to the good news of Jesus.

Even the thought of mixing christianity and politics gets some people excited and makes some people shudder. But how does our christianity affect our lives as citizens? Join City Church as we wade into these deep waters together.

How should the message of Jesus change us? In what ways is it related to the way that we allow other peoples opinions to rule our lives?
