Living As Aliens - Part 2
February 8, 2015
- Being from another country myself, I understand what it means to be a
little different. I act a little different, speak a little different,
support a different type of sport and Olympic team, and sometimes when I
hiccup it sounds like I’m saying the word “Eh!” As we start a quick
two Sunday sermon series, we are going to be hearing from Peter, one of
the pioneers of the New Testament church. He is calling all who believe
in Jesus “Aliens.” As a former resident Alien to the United States, I
can relate to what Peter is describing in his letter in 1 Peter.
Because we are all aliens, we need to speak differently, act
differently, and even present ourselves differently than the culture in
which we are currently living. He wants to make sure we do not
sacrifice our new found salvation in Jesus, to passions and cares of
this present world but to train and stay together as we look forward to
our coming inheritance.
