Whose Face is on the Coin?

In this episode, we continue our Inquisition series by looking at one of Jesus’ most brilliant and politically loaded questions: “Whose image is on the coin?” (Matthew 22, Luke 20, Mark 12). What starts as a trap by the Pharisees and Herodians becomes a powerful teaching on identity, allegiance, and the Kingdom of Heaven.

We unpack the historical tension of Roman occupation, the weight of taxation in Jesus’ day, and how Jesus flips the question to reveal a deeper truth: we are made in God’s image, and our ultimate allegiance belongs to Him. In a world full of competing loyalties, this message calls us to give Caesar his coin—but give God our lives.
