The Way Through a Pagan World

Pastor Kevin Diamond

How do we engage people who do not share our faith while remaining faithful to Jesus?

A sacrificial feast. A meat market. A neighbor’s dinner. In 1 Corinthians 10, Paul brings us into three everyday settings and shows why belonging to Christ changes how we participate in the world around us.

Drawing on his family’s visit to Rome, Pastor Kevin explores the difference between joining rival worship, receiving God’s good gifts, and seeking our neighbors’ good. Halloween is one example, but these questions reach into our friendships, work, entertainment, money, and daily decisions.

• Reject idols that compete with Christ.

• Receive God’s good gifts with thanksgiving.

• Redeem opportunities for Gospel witness.

Peter’s teaching about Christ’s return, judgment, and God’s patience gives urgency and hope to the way we live today. Our response begins with the grace of Jesus, who died for our sins and rose again.

The Good News of Jesus is that because we BELONG completely to Him, we can live IN the world without being OF the world.
