God Bless America 7/4/16

Have you said or sung "God Bless America"? What do we mean? How is this held in tension with the Christian's citizinship in the Kingdom of Heaven? How is this held in tension with God's blessing for all people?

This message zeroes in on Jesus' hope for us as both citizens of his Kingdom and citizens of the United States of America (or any country).

Who We Are

Isaiah 61

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
