“The Call of Church Citizenship”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on February 16, 2025.
Continues the 3 C’s for Living sermon series.
Covers Psalm 72:1-4 & 12-20 and Philippians 3:12-21
God’s people have consistently wrestled with how the power of God’s Kingdom operates differently than the power that operates in the world setting up its own kind of kingdoms and institutions. God recommending to Israel to not be ruled by a king, to Jesus saying he would not be a Messiah of conquering and enemy killing, to Paul’s idea of citizenship in heaven over other allegiances give examples of that tension. How can we help the church exist as a unique institution of love, service and thriving for all God’s creation, and make sure we don’t get tempted to putting that below the powers around us focus more on privilege and preference and power over others?
