21 Sep 2025 Sermon Title: The Advent of Hope

Sermon Title: Strangers on Earth & Citizens of Heaven
Scripture: 1 Peter 1:1-2
Central Proposition: Because Christians are strangers on earth but citizens of heaven, life is a temporary journey, but our permanent home and eternal hope is anchored in Jesus Christ.

Outline

Believers can verify their eternal passport by examining the credentials of a heavenly citizenship.

Our Identity is in Jesus (1)

Our Security is in God (2a):
2a Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:

Our Destiny is an eternity with Christ (2b)

2b Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
