The Footsteps of Paul · Epilogue · Communion Sunday

Message Title · The Way Through a Pagan World

Speaker · Pastor Kevin Diamond

Key Scripture · 1 Corinthians 10:14–11:1; John 17:15–18; 2 Peter 3:3–7, 9, 11–13, 15, 18, NIV

How do we engage people who do not share our faith while remaining faithful to Jesus?

A sacrificial feast. A meat market. A neighbor’s dinner. In 1 Corinthians 10, Paul brings us into three everyday settings and shows why belonging to Christ changes how we participate in the world around us.

Drawing on our family’s visit to Rome, Pastor Kevin explores the difference between joining rival worship, receiving God’s good gifts, and seeking our neighbors’ good. Halloween is one example, but these questions reach into our friendships, work, entertainment, money, and daily decisions.

Together, we’ll consider:

• Reject idols that compete with Christ.

• Receive God’s good gifts with thanksgiving.

• Redeem opportunities for Gospel witness.

Peter’s teaching about Christ’s return, judgment, and God’s patience gives urgency and hope to the way we live today. Our response begins with the grace of Jesus, who died for our sins and rose again. We will share Communion during the closing song.

The Good News of Jesus is that because we BELONG completely to Him, we can live IN the world without being OF the world.
