Sermons Against Christian Nationalism

In 2022 pastors were encouraged to preach anti-Christian Nationalism sermons on or around World Communion Sunday (October 2). Many heeded that call. On this webpage you’ll find several of those sermons, either in manuscript form saved as PDF’s or as video files shared via YouTube.
While Disciples Peace Fellowship was not a part of organizing pastors to preach these sermons, we are grateful to be able to archive them on our website and hope that others will take inspiration and strength from these messages.

{Note: For a quick explainer article on the dangers of Christian Nationalism, Paul D. Miller (professor of the practice of international affairs at Georgetown University and a research fellow with the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission) has an excellent article titled “What is Christian Nationalism”.}
