Strangers in a Strange World: God, Government, and Responsibility

Sunday Sermon 10/27/24
Pastor Steve Hankins

Genesis 1:26-28 & Romans 13:1-4
1. God created us to rule over this world. (Genesis 1:26-28) (John 4:24)
2. Sin Corrupted our ability to rule as God desired (Genesis 3) (Genesis 9:1-6; Psalm 14:1-3; Romans 3:10-11)
3. Government authorities are servants of God. (Romans 13:1-4) (Genesis 9:6; Exodus 21:22-23; Psalm 119:89)

As strangers in a strange world, we are Ambassadors of Christ
(2 Corinthians 5:20; Ephesians 2:8-10)
