“Paraphrase of the Gospel account about the imperial tax: Jesus flips the question by asking whose image is on the coin and they concede 'the emperor's.'”

Sermon reflects on Jesus' response to questions about taxes, using the 'render unto Caesar' moment to distinguish civic obligations from ultimate allegiance to God. The preacher urges Christians to remember their identity as made in God's image, practice faithful stewardship of money and civic life, and let faith shape daily decisions.
