The text is an excerpt from a sermon delivered at Colonial Presbyterian Church by a guest speaker named Carson, who represents the ministry Refuge KC. Carson begins by expressing gratitude for the partnership between the church and his organization, which serves refugees in Kansas City through gospel-focused ministries of mercy, including English programs, housing aid, and relational connection with Christian volunteers. He explains the rigorous process by which people become refugees and asserts that God is sovereignly bringing people from unreached nations to a "light-saturated" city like Kansas City for the purpose of sharing the gospel. The main part of the sermon then focuses on a passage from Hebrews 11, specifically the story of Abraham, to encourage the congregation to live wholeheartedly for the kingdom of God because God's promises are certain and His blessings are better than anything the world offers, drawing a parallel between the refugee experience and the Christian's identity as a stranger and exile.
