Becoming "Strange People"
We are part of a real-life story that is going on around us, but many of us haven't yet realized our role in God's story. To be a holy people is to be an intentional, loving people, with a purpose--to bring others to Him. We are now the place where heaven and earth intersect and from which the glory of God radiates out into the world. We are the people of God.
Scripture: Joshua 24:16-17, 1 Peter 1:1-2, 1 Peter 2:1-10
From Series: "Blessing Babylon"
The Bible is God’s saving story for each one of us, but what about the parts of the story that seem out of place? How does salvation fit the occupation by Rome, bondage in Egypt, and exile in Babylon? What if we understood these parts of the story as God’s way of saving us from ourselves? As we learn to embrace exile in today’s culture we will realize our purpose found in God’s grace…grace that still saves, provides freedom, and calls us to bless Babylon.
