Movement Church of Hilliard, Ohio exists to be a movement of people finding their way back to God.
In this week’s message, we unpack one of Jesus’ most politically charged moments — when He’s asked whether it’s right to pay taxes to Caesar. What looked like a trap between two opposing political groups becomes a timeless teaching about allegiance, image, and identity. Jesus’ response reframes everything: “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
This conversation forces us to wrestle with our own loyalties. Are we honoring authority without surrendering our worship? Are we allowing our politics, preferences, or culture to shape our hearts more than Jesus does? The truth is — whatever image we bear determines whose kingdom we serve.
As followers of Jesus, we’re called to live with tension: to engage with the world responsibly while keeping our ultimate allegiance fixed on God. We can vote, serve, and lead in our communities, but our hearts belong to a higher Kingdom. The question we all must ask is — Whose image do I bear?
This episode challenges us to be people marked not by division or earthly kingdoms, but by the image and character of God — reflecting His love, humility, and justice in a world desperate for both truth and grace.
