Christ-centered citizenship means learning to disagree without dehumanizing one another. This is the second sermon in the "Triple Citizenship" sermon series where, as followers of Jesus who live in the US, most of us claim three overlapping identities: citizens of the world, citizens of the United States, and citizens of God's Kingdom. Each citizenship carries responsibilities and sometimes tensions. This series explores Jesus’ teachings from the Sermon on the Mount that give us direction on how to hold them together faithfully. However, when our citizenships collide, which one gets the final word? Jesus' answer throughout Matthew 5–7 is the Kingdom of God.

Citizens of the World
The Kingdom of God includes people from every nation, and Jesus calls us to be “salt and light” wherever we live. This is the first sermon in the "Triple Citizenship" sermon series where, as followers of Jesus who live in the US, most of us claim three overlapping identities: citizens of the world, citizens of the United States, and citizens of God's Kingdom. Each citizenship carries responsibilities and sometimes tensions. This series explores Jesus’ teachings from the Sermon on the Mount that give us direction on how to hold them together faithfully. However, when our citizenships collide, which one gets the final word? Jesus' answer throughout Matthew 5–7 is the Kingdom of God.

Creation
The same God who creates beauty entrusts creation to our care. Humanity is called to cultivate, protect, and responsibly steward the earth rather than simply consume its resources. Caring for creation becomes an expression of worship and love—honoring the Creator by caring for what God has made.
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
