How to Keep a Kingdom Mindset in a Political World

About this sermon

Do the stories of injustices and evil happening in our world break your heart? Do they stir a holy anger and catalyze a righteous action of justice? There is a reason the injustices, immorality, and evil in our world affect us in a deep and emotional place; we were created to bring light to the dark places of society. The Church was never intended to stay within its four walls. Believers are intended to influence all spheres of society and impact all aspects of culture — this is our inherited role; our divine assignment. Yet as I look at the Church today I wonder: have we become so comfortable gathering our local congregations that we’ve disowned our responsibility to respond to the darkness that surrounds us? We can’t ignore the fact that injustice and evil surround us everyday; we hear horror stories on the news of wrongdoing in our backyard and evil in our land. Now, let me be clear, we are not of this world. We have been born again, the Holy Spirit lives inside of us, and we are new creations. However, we have also been anointed to preach the good news to the poor, to bind up the broken-hearted and proclaim freedom for the captives...to rebuild ruined cities and restore the places long devastated (Isaiah 61). It is clear, in the kingdom of God the restored become the restorers and the delivered set others free — this is the transforming power of the Gospel. In this week’s blog I share more about the responsibility we have as Believers to be a light to the whole world, and one practical step you can take towards this call. https://www.krisvallotton.com/how-to-keep-a-kingdom-mindset-in-a-political-world #kvm #kvmblog
