Week 3 – Kingdoms in Conflict

Sep 18, 2022    Steve Colaw

It is true that the Kingdom of Jesus is at odds with the kingdoms of the world. The church has taken sides culture wars and, honestly, we've been indiscriminate in who we aim at. We spend a lot of time and energy 'shooting' at those who are on the other side of the culture war. But, as Paul said, our struggle is not with flesh and blood. We are not at war WITH our world, we are at war FOR our world. Christianity brought an empire to its knees and radically transformed the world. But not through fighting the way our world fights. Jesus calls us to fight the battle the same way he did, by choosing to lose and laying down our lives for others, even our enemies.
