Christian Citizenship

Christian Citizenship

Passage: 1 Peter 2:13-17

Preacher: Derrick McCarson

Series: Rock Solid, vol. 1: Exploring the Epistles of Peter

Detail:

Peter lived in a culture and time when being a Christian often meant a death sentence. Eventually, Peter would be executed at the hands of the Roman tyrant Nero. Some of Peters audience bloodied the sand of the Roman coliseum, others were dipped in oil and burned on stakes. The underlying issue is how do citizens of Gods kingdom relate to an oppressive State? These verses give us a framework for understanding how Christians should relate to government.
