Welcome to "God’s at Work Here," where we explore what it truly means to be the church. This series helps us understand the important role we play in God's plan, whether you're new to the church or have been part of it for years. We’re reminded of the strong foundation we stand on and encouraged to continue growing in our faith and purpose as followers of Jesus.
Today's message focuses on our identity as the church—not as something extra in our lives but as the core of who we are. From 1 Peter 2:9-10, we learn that we are chosen by God to share His goodness with the world. The church is meant to shine God’s light in a dark world, and with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can make a real difference by living out our faith and showing love to others.

Welcome to part two of our Citizens of Heaven series! Today, we're focusing on what it means to live with a true biblical worldview in a changing world. A Christian worldview isn't optional—it's essential to our faith. Many believers today lack a full understanding of this, so we must reclaim the whole gospel story: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. As image-bearers of God, we're called not just to believe, but to live out our faith by engaging with the world around us for God's glory.
We're reminded that the gospel is about more than personal salvation—it's about redeeming all of creation. Everything from politics to art is part of God's kingdom and should reflect His glory. Our role is to participate in this redemption, shaping culture under the rule of King Jesus, as we look ahead to the ultimate restoration of all things.
