The prophet Amos is told by the priest not to prophesy in Bethel—because it is “the sanctuary of the king.” But we know the deeper history of Bethel is that Jacob named it “the house of God.” What do you do when the king & the prophet...or God & government...have conflicting claims? And where does Romans 13 fit in? These are the pressing questions of the moment we are in, & this no-holds barred message from The Table explores them all.

This is the first sermon Jonathan preached at The Table, a new community in Oklahoma City. While the Table will have its own separate weekly podcast, we wanted to feature the first few messages for our loyal listeners here. How is it possible that God might call us to remember, and simultaneously to forget? What do you do when you want to stay connected to where you came from, but you feel Spirit tugging you into something new? These are the tensions we explore in this message on “continuity and discontinuity.”
