Peter & Rome

Peter & Rome

Author: Epikos Church November 24, 2024 Duration: 37:44
In this week's sermon, Pastor Mark Deering explores the concept of being a "citizen of the kingdom of God". Drawing from scripture, he emphasizes that Christians should live differently by submitting to human institutions, honoring everyone, loving fellow believers, and fearing God. The key message is about living in the present world while keeping one's heart anchored to a greater, future hope. By imitating Jesus and responding to challenges with grace, respect, and love, we can demonstrate our faith authentically and silently prove critics wrong through our distinctive way of living.
