Episode notes
Rescued And Asked To 'Earn This'
- Dr. Justin Carmona uses Saving Private Ryan to illustrate being rescued and asking if life was made worth the sacrifice.
- He ties Private Ryan's question to Christian desire to live lives worthy of the gospel, not to earn salvation but to honor the sacrifice.
Citizenship Of Heaven
- Paul frames Christians as citizens of heaven living in a Roman colony culture.
- Our primary allegiance must be to Jesus and his kingdom, not to earthly powers or cultures.
Stand Firm Together
- Stand firm together: unite in one spirit and one mind to strive side by side for the gospel.
