In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Robey Barnes unpacks Jesus’ powerful response to a carefully crafted trap: “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” What starts as a political question quickly turns into a deeper, more personal challenge about allegiance. Jesus shifts the focus from coins and government to something far greater—our lives. If a coin bears Caesar’s image, it belongs to him… but we bear God’s image, which means everything we are ultimately belongs to Him. This message invites us to examine what we’re holding back and calls us to fully surrender our hearts, lives, and identity to God.
