Dylan preaches on how Jesus is not a national Jesus, which is often viewed as either the mascot of America or that we cannot love America because we are only supposed to love Jesus.

We must live out an acti...

In this sermon, we learn from the example of David that selfishness is never in line with God's design. Our selfishness draws us away from accountability, but wisdom draws us to God's Word and His people.
