Joshua Carney: When Christianity is Bad for America (Romans 13:1-10)

In this edgy sermon, Joshua Carney, pastor of University Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, critiques the desire to be safe and examines a Christian’s relationship to government, in particular the relationship of Christians in the United States to the American government, reminding his hearers that Christianity isn’t and never has been safe. To listen to the audio of this sermon, click here.

This sermon was delivered during the morning worship service at University Baptist in Waco, on June 24, 2018. Carney references a Ram Truck Super Bowl commercial featuring Martin Luther King Jr., which can be viewed here.
