The Bible's message about Jesus is life changing City on a Hill Evangelical Church

Advance voting is open, the billboards are up, and election day is Saturday 7 November. So, with some trepidation, I'm dipping my toe into politics to offer a few pointers on how to think about voting as followers of Jesus.
Here are four things I'd encourage us to keep in mind.
“Taste and See that the LORD is good” (Psalm 34:8)
I wonder if you ever noticed just how much food plays a big part in the story of the bible.
• The first words of God to humans are an invitation to eat (Gen 2:16) • The first disaster in the Bible is over forbidden food (Gen 3:6) • Before he died, Jesus’ shared a last-meal with his disciples (Matt 26:20) • And one picture of the Bible’s hope for the future is of a massive, joyful feast! (Matt 22:1)
Meals and food together with others are often how relationships are fostered and grow. I know for myself, some of my favourite times are when I am sitting down over a meal with friends and family.
