Giving to Caesar what is Caesar while giving to God what is God’s is a complicated task, especially in a politically charged culture. Noel Piepgrass preaches part 2 in hopes of helping us understand how to apply Matthew 22:15-22 within the lens of 1 Peter 2, Romans 13, and the life of Daniel.
In Matthew 9:9-13, Jesus calls the tax collector Matthew to follow him. Matthew follows immediately and invites his unloveable friends to have dinner with Jesus which upsets the Pharisees and begins a controversy. The good news is, Jesus came for the sick, not for the well. He came for sinners like you and me, not the righteous.

In Matthew 13:1-23, Jesus begins his sermon of parables with a story about a farmer who’s sowing seeds. The seed falls upon 4 different soils and we’re told, by Jesus, that each type of soil represents a heart condition. In this sermon, Pastor Noel Piepgrass shares how the heart can be hard, shallow, or distracted and thus unable to receive the seed of the gospel and thrive. Finally, Noel points us to Jesus, the one who makes our soil good as we turn to him through repentance. (sermon credit due, Danny Bartlett, whose work Pastor Noel drew heavily from)
