Christians are resident aliens—travelers passing through this world, but never rooted in this world. As such, God’s people need to know how to live as “first Kingdom” citizens in a “second kingdom” place. Discover your exilic identity and how to navigate what’s true not by looking at politics, culture, or media, but by looking through the lens of God’s Word. Then, resolve to live as ambassadors of God’s coming Kingdom, bringing hope to a broken world.

This message focuses on 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 and the Core Comptency of Evangelism.

Scripture References

You can add references to biblical scripture in your notes and they will become clickable references. To add a reference following the American System of Biblical References using either the book's full title or an abbreviation.

Use colons between chapter and verse numbers (most Europeans use a different format, putting commas here).
Use commas between verse numbers of the same chapter (and between chapter numbers, but only if no verses are given).
Use semicolons between references that give chapter and verse numbers from different chapters.
Use a single dash between verses to indicate "from-to" within one chapter (or between chapter numbers without verses).
Do not use periods after abbreviated book names, but do put spaces between the abbreviations and chapter numbers.

Example References

My favorite Psalm is Psalm 91

In Philippians 4:6 we are called not to be anxious.

In Phil 4:6 we are called not to be anxious.

In Phil 4:6-8 we are called not to be anxious and if anything is excellent or praiseworthy to think about such things.

God's commandments serve as a template for godly living today. Exodus 20:3-17,22-25

Invalid References

The reference Gen. 1:1 accidentally included a period after the abbreviation.
