The Liturgy of Politics
This four-week series, based on The Liturgy of Politics by Kaitlyn Schiess, explores the way Christian worship shapes the holistic lives of the people of God. While we are all shaped by the political forces in our lives, we are also powerfully shaped by the habits and practices of the church. The church has powerful resources—corporate worship, Scripture, personal spiritual disciplines, and historic practices—for addressing the power of political idolatry. The way forward may not require an entirely new strategy but a return to the historic practices of the global church.

Using This Series Guide
The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.
Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.
This series includes 4 weeks of content.
The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.
It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.
We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.
Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
