Peter reminds us that the Christian life is a calling to leave the world and to run into the Kingdom of God. This brings the people of God into a permanent posture of exile, knowing that this world is not our home, as we await our King to return and bring us into that better Kingdom. Join us this week as Pastor Scott helps us examine what living in exile truly means.

He stresses that Jesus is already crowned King, and our mission is to proclaim His reign, which transforms personal and societal relationships, urging repentance and a reorientation of life around Christ rather than traditional values or personal efforts.
