Good Christians Are Good Citizens

SUMMARY

Pastor Jeff explores the often challenging but important concept of submission in the life of a Christian citizen. In this sermon from 1 Peter 2:13-17, we examine what it means to submit to governing authorities for the Lord's sake. Common misconceptions about submission are confronted, especially within the context of our modern, individualistic society.

Learn how Christians can honor God through respectful citizenship, even under imperfect or unjust governments. Find the balance between obeying human laws and prioritizing God's higher authority, the importance of serving our communities, and living lives that silence critics through integrity and love.

As a citizen of heaven, it matters a great deal how Christians live as citizens of our country.
