Kingdom Heirs Cultivating Cultural Change

Ephesians 5:5

September 13, 2020 • Pastor Paul Edwards

The culture is going to hell, and it should. It is has been found guilty of all manner of evil against God, and God is right and just to condemn it. Yet God has devised a rescue plan to move people from the kingdom of darkness, the the Kingdom of God. This Kingdom controls all earthly kingdoms, yet its power is veiled. Unbelievers are ambivalent to the power of the Kingdom.

How is the Kingdom revealed? As believers carry their holiness with humility. This is the only hope for cultural change.
