OUR “GAME OF THRONES” SERMON SERIES,dealing with power and justice, continues today. The adage “power corrupts—and absolute power corrupts absolutely” has some biblical confirmation. Yet in many biblical stories God’s providence is seen, even in and through a powerful person. We will attempt to find God—and goodness—in these stories. Today is part 5 in the series.
