Overcoming a Hostile World

Being In the World But Not of It

Conrad Hilario

Give Us a King

Eagerly Waiting for the King

Ryan Lowery

Philippians 3:18-21

While still on Earth, Christians should view their identity as that of an ex-patriot--living in a foreign land, with our citizenship in heaven. This teaching goes through aspects of our thinking that should be controlled by our identity, instead of worldly perspectives. This will translate into a loving, serving lifestyle that stands firm on the word of God.
