Citizens in the Kingdom

Part 2: A Hope Not Of This World

Join us as we take a step back from our current sermon series ("The Dearest Place on Earth") during this unprecedented Coronavirus season and encourage one another through the Psalms. Specifically, Pastor Brad Lynch walks us through Psalm 23 as we encourage one another to keep our eyes on the Good Shepherd Jesus Christ.

God's desire for the church is to proclaim His word, minister to His people and advance His kingdom.

Part II of the discussion on what scripture calls a Pastor of God's saints to be.

A pastor is a man called by God to lead, teach, shepherd, pray for and disciple a congregation. He should be above reproach, sober-minded, respectable, hospitable, gentle and of good reputation.

In chapter 2:8-15 the apostle Paul gives the church some very important guidelines on how Christian men and women are to conduct themselves. Believers are called to live Counter-Culture to the way the world lives. Paul encourages men to stop arguing and start praying; he encourages women to pursue modesty and the apostle commands both men and women to live out their God-given roles. In this way, the gospel of Christ is proclaimed and lives are changed from darkness to light.

In chapter 2 of 1 Timothy, the apostle Paul highlights to Timothy the importance of evangelistic prayer, the reason for evangelistic prayer and the power of evangelistic prayer.
