Passage: The Letter of Paul to the Philippians Philippians 3:20

Preacher: John Wagenveld

Series: Missions Updates

Summary:

We are so excited about Sunday! We have a very special guest: Dr. John Wagenveld, Founder and President of Multiplication Network. His message is titled, "What On Earth Is Heavenly Citizenship?" and it emphasizes Paul’s reminder that we are citizens of heaven. We will look at the contrast with our earthly citizenship made by the historical context of the church plant in Philippi. The story of Acts 16 shows the value placed on Roman citizenship. In this Gospel story Luke presents three radical conversions involving very different people who were not supposed to associate with one another. Yet the nascent church of Philippi, the first Pauline church plant on European soil, demonstrates the power of the Gospel to overcome cultural differences that keep people apart. This is because of people who “are born of the Spirit.” We hold two citizenships, but ultimately we are citizens of the Kingdom of God.
