This sermon introduces a new series called “Citizens” which explores the concept of the Kingdom of God and what it means to be a citizen of that kingdom. Pastor Mark Deering explains that the Kingdom of God is not a physical place, but rather God’s rule and reign through His people. He traces this theme from Genesis through to Revelation, emphasizing Jesus’ role in establishing the kingdom. Pastor Mark encourages us to understand our identity as citizens of God’s Kingdom, imitating Christ in all areas of life. He cautions against isolating from the world or conflating earthly politics with God’s Kingdom, instead urging believers to live faithfully as representatives of God’s Kingdom here on earth.
