Gospel in Focus
October 22, 2023 The Pharisees try to trap Jesus with his words, but Jesus responds with wisdom. “At that he said to them, ‘Then repay to Caesar what belongs to
Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” —Matthew 22:21
Discussion Questions
Who represents “Caesar”—someone or something who oppresses you—in your life? A person, a group, a habit, a technology devise? How is God calling you to respond?
What does it mean to “give glory?”
How can we give the Lord glory as a family this week?
