Speaker: Associate Pastor Jeff Phillips
Scripture: Philippians 3:17–4:1
Supporting Scriptures: Philippians 3:12–13; Ephesians 2:1–5
As Christians, we live in this world, but our ultimate citizenship is somewhere else. In Philippians 3:17–4:1, Paul challenges believers to consider whose example they are following and where their true allegiance lies.
Our citizenship shapes the way we live, the master we follow, and even the way we view those around us. Are we walking according to the values of our heavenly home, or are we allowing the world to set the direction for our lives?
Sermon Points
A Citizen of Heaven Walks to a Different Beat — Our heavenly citizenship should be evident in the way we live. We are called to follow Christ rather than simply conforming to the patterns around us.
A Citizen of the World Follows Their Master — Paul contrasts those whose minds and lives are focused on earthly things with those who follow Christ. What we pursue reveals who we are following.
How Do We View Citizens of Earth? — As citizens of heaven, we should remember where we came from and view others with the grace, compassion, and love that Christ has shown us.
Join us for this message from Associate Pastor Jeff Phillips as we examine what it means to live as citizens of heaven while we are still here on earth.
