Dear Church Family, As citizens of the United States we want to represent our country well when we visit other countries. It reflects well on the entire nation. The same can be said for a poor representation when we visit a foreign land. As citizens of heaven we want to represent our heavenly country and our King well too. How can we do this? On Sunday we will be looking at Philippians 1:27-30. The title of the message is “Living as a Citizen of Heaven.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Philippians 3:20, I Peter 2:11-12, and Colossians 1:9-11. May the Lord bless our time as we sit under the authority of His Word. May we reflect upon being citizens of the United States on 9/11 and more importantly being citizens of heaven. God bless you and have a great day! Because of Jesus, Pastor...
