“Sojourners and Exiles”

Christians increasingly understand what it means to be sojourners and exiles in a Western world that, not long ago, commonly gave those with biblical convictions a seat at the table. Drawing from Peter’s first letter to the early, scattered church, Alistair Begg explains how to live faithfully in a world that has turned its back on God. By reminding ourselves-and each other-that we’re God’s children and foreigners in this place, we can live according to God’s will, stand firm in His grace, and focus on His everlasting kingdom.
Scripture: 1 Peter 2:11-12
Preached: July 3, 2022

Amazing sermon from a man of God. Peace be with you and God bless you all.

[@debbiedean3165]

Thank you Pastor Begg for telling us the direct truth. By you saying it I didn’t feel so alone. I feel ostracized even from some family members because they know where I stand on many issues, it doesn’t even have to be brought up. 🙏 I am so thankful for your sound teaching.

Bless you Pastor, my current experience is the same, as Debbie's, and I thank you both for your comments. So shines a good deed, in such a weary, and for me, wicked world. I am not alone. Thanks be to God.

My goodness Pastor Begg, you've delivered yet another wonderful sermon for we the believers to learn from! Extrapolated from the Word of God by you, & delivered to us, in the manner in which only you are capable of🙏🏻! I for one, am so very thankful for your year's in the ministry, & the way you tirelessly put forth so much of yourself, in teaching the True Word of God, for the betterment of the people who are willing to lend an ear, learn, & grow in our spiritual walk with the Lord! I pray Pastor Begg for your family, & your ministry, I ask that the Lord continue to watch over you, & preserve you in good health, so that you may continue to Bless us, with your teaching! I must say, I feel a bit selfish in my request in this prayer, but I do believe that I'm not the only one who feels so strongly about the need to express gratitude to you, for your lifetime of service, in the Lord's work, which is very evident, that you've done it all, for the Glory of God! Thank You Pastor Begg📖🕯️🙏🏻 PS I'm one of the seven who has tagged along since the time you were referring to in this sermon, "1999", & actually for me, "1995" listening to you over the radio🙏🏻, & I've thoroughly enjoyed the ride!

[@billmchugh8256]

An attitude I sometimes admittedly struggle to adopt - thank you for the reminder brother.

[@teegee3691]

A wonderful message that reminds us our citizenship is not in this world and we should feel like strangers, but also the importance of Hebrews 10:24,25 'And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near', so we remember our bonds of unity when we feel alone in this wicked and perverse generation.

I feel it may be even worse, as the group that identifies as Christian is also split, a little like Israel and Judah. One portion has made themselves an idol, in the form of a man, whom they will follow to the end in spite of his evil actions.

[@Salty_Traveler]

Yes, I feel very much a Stranger and Sojourner on this earth - as I very much am, in Christ Jesus. Even set apart from so many who identify as 'Christian '. Please, Christians, the USA is not - and has never been - a 'Christian ' nation. How can we ever hope to share the Truth of God from false premises? If we do not get the premise correct - the true history - then there are so many who know better and will not take the message of Christ Jesus seriously as Truth. This is one message from Alistair I had to turn from at an early starting point. Whatever truth he arrived at began on a false premise.

[@stevenlevin7235]

Hmmm... have you studied the group of believers who landed at Plymouth Rock... suggest you might want to do so. God makes His Covenants with born again believers who are captured by His word and Spirit... and none other...

[@Salty_Traveler]

@Steven Levin - I'm not sure what you are getting at - how that relates to the USA being a 'Christian' nation as a blanket declaration. Our founding fathers were Freemasons (Luciferian occultists). Have there been genuine Christians in our nation? Of course. They are everywhere, in every nation, and especially thrive under persecution (which they have not suffered much persecution in America at all - that's about to change).

On the point of gender, “Facts don’t care about one’s feelings” I think Ben Shapiro coined that phrase and it’s so true. You can feel like the opposite sex but what do the facts say (reveal)!

[@DiZazzosforJesus]

God has told us to share this video with as many people as possible, so we are posting it as a comment on every message we see and we will let God bring the understanding, we are just the messengers. Last Days Message - Lukewarmness Has Taken Over God's Church, Will You Answer His Knocking & Come Out? Revelation 3:15-16 is rampant in today's "institutional" church and every believer should be concerned about that. Do not take lukewarmness lightly, it has been caused and continues to be caused by leaders who mix the ways of the world into the worship of God. Can any believer accept that if something is not in the word of God, we should throw it away? Revelation 3:17 is the response that so many have to this question, but it is said today in different ways, we've always done it this way, this is my way of worshipping God, everyone does it, God never said we couldn't do it. These statements are Revelation 3:17, when we instead should be doing as it states in Revelation 3:18 and following God's advice. So many say God would never vomit us, He loves us, and He does. Remember though every good father disciples his children, just as God does in Revelation 3:19. Can any leader or believer accept reproof and discipline? Can any leader or believer be zealous enough to step away from the lukewarm ways and repent from what they have done? Can anyone? Read God's word, God's people did not listen to Jeremiah, Isaiah, Noah to name a few because they were stiff necked and hard hearted. Don't let that be you! Be zealous and repent and put away all things that are not in God's word and answer Jesus' knocking and come out of the "institution" that is today's church. He who has an ear to hear let him hear. Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYuTZ3mee7-rm7c

Praise God and honor Him every Sabbath in prayer and songs. Are you honoring God’s Sabbath day each week? Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:12‬ ‭KJV‬ Exodus 20: 8 “Remember the Sabbath day (the seventh day, Saturday), so that it may be holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You shall not do any work therein: neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your servant, nor your servant, nor your cattle, nor the stranger that is in your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day. Honor God the Creator of the Sabbath on Saturday. Not Sunday, which is the first day of the week. God only blessed the seventh day and made it a holy. Isaiah 66: 22-23 After all, like the new heavens and the new earth What I do will remain before me, ”declares the Lord. Your offspring are the ones who will survive. And it will come out From the new moon to the new moon, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh will come and worship before me, ”declares the Lord. God's Sabbath will be kept forever. In the Sabbath law, the Great Lawgiver identifies himself as the Creator of heaven and earth. Our world has forgotten and worship on Sunday, a day God never made holy. Honor the Creator and remember to keep His Sabbath day holy Ezekiel 20:12 Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them. 20 And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God.

[@JohnJones-qy5ko]

Any quotes from the New Testament on this? Maybe from Paul?

[@stevenlevin7235]

Yes, of course born again believers worship on the Lord's Day, the day of our Lords resurrection... don't you?

On the subject of homosexuality, I have a hard time loving these people but I do my best to love the person but hate the sin. We have some in our church. They are allowed to come, however, they are not allowed to serve in any area, not even on car park duty.

[@mmmmlllljohn]

You, obviously, are not a sinner. Are you Jesus Christ then? Good of you to let them (the sinners) come to your church. ❤️🇨🇦

[@jaimieasay5851]

Jesus loved sinners and didn't have to try and talk himself into it. We are all sinners, even you. Time for some self reflection.
