God’s people are called to engage the world constructively because this is God’s world. They are in the world. But they are also called to confront the world courageously because this world is in rebellion against God. They are not of the world. To confront the world they are called to be holy, that is to be different, and to stand up and speak out.
Part of our sermon series—”Be Courageous! Living as God’s People in God’s World.” This series is based on and follows the outline of Christopher J.H. Wright’s book, The Mission of God's People : A Biblical Theology of the Church's Mission, (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Zondervan, 2010). For this sermon these two sources were also used—Michael Anthony, A Call for Courage : Living with Power, Truth, and Love in an Age of Intolerance and Fear, (Nashville: Nelson Books, 2018); and Ed Stetzer, Christians in the Age of Outrage : How to Bring Our Best When the World Is at Its Worst, (Carol Stream, Illinois: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2018).
