God has given humanity three institutes to stabilize and sustain a society: the government, the Church, and the family. When we look at our country today, the government is divisive, the family is being redefined, and the church is largely weak and ineffective. As we enter into an election season, we want to see how these pillars are meant to function and our role in strengthening them.
Throughout the Psalms, a word continues to repeat itself: Selah. Selah means to both "to pause and reflect" as well as "to sing and celebrate". On the eve of a national election, our Shepherds led us through a Selah reflection and celebration. Join us through this message as we pray for our government, church, and families. Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Let us live that truth out in this season and throughout the rest of our lives.

As we continue our series Pillars, we look at the first institution ordained by God: the Family. Created in perfection, the family is designed to be the smallest and most influential pillar to stabilize society. Looking at Deuteronomy 6, we see the primary purpose of the family is to be and make disciples. When families follow God's word and way, society is strengthened.
As we continue our series Pillars, we look at the second institution God has given humanity to stabilize society: the Church. The Church is not a building full of bored adults on Sunday. The Church is the people of God on the mission of God. When the Church truly lives out God’s mission, society is strengthened and people flourish.
God has given humanity 3 pillars to stabilize and sustain society: government, family, and the Church. The government has been given the authority by God to promote good and restrain evil. We, as believers in Jesus Christ, live in two kingdoms with one King. As citizens of heaven and earth, our King has called us to seek first His kingdom, serve the city we live in, submit to governing authorities, and speak to God and to man when the kingdoms collide.
