Are Christians Putting Too Much Hope in Government?

How should Christians respond to government and political authority? In a world where elections, leaders, and policies dominate the conversation, it’s easy for Christians to place too much hope—or too much fear—in government. But the Bible reminds us of a deeper truth: earthly rulers rise and fall, but Christ reigns forever.

In this video, Doy Moyer explores what Scripture actually teaches about the Christian’s relationship to government. From Romans 13 and I Peter 2 to Daniel, the Psalms, and the words of Jesus Himself, he suggests clear, biblical principles that shape how believers should think, speak, and live in the public square.

You’ll learn:

  • Why God’s kingdom is not threatened by any election
  • How to honor leaders without idolizing them
  • When submission applies—and what it does not mean
  • How to keep your allegiance fixed on Christ, not politics

This isn’t about partisan talking points. It’s about remembering who truly rules—and living as lights in a world that often puts its hope in princes rather than the Lord. Governments will always rise and fall. But Jesus is King forever.
