Out of the World, In the World
Update: 2025-10-15
Description
The sermon centers on the Christian paradox of being both separated from and sent into the world: delivered from its sin and condemnation yet commissioned to proclaim the gospel. Drawing from Paul's trial before Festus and Agrippa, it emphasizes that believers are no longer of this world, as affirmed in John 17 and 1 John 5, yet remain in it to witness to the hope of resurrection and divine grace. The message is not merely to survive in the world but to actively engage it, sharing the good news of salvation through repentance and faith in Christ, which the Holy Spirit alone empowers. It warns against worldly friendship as enmity with God, while affirming that true evangelism arises not from manipulation but from a transformed life marked by love, integrity, and a clear declaration of sin and divine deliverance. Ultimately, the believer is both rescued and sent—no longer bound by the world's darkness, but called to open eyes, turn hearts, and bring souls into the eternal kingdom of God.
