"Good Gifts Make Terrible Gods" Acts 22:23 ~Pastor Frank Hart
from NewChurch Podcast
Earthly Citizenship and Heavenly Rights Have you ever held the ultimate VIP pass, only to have the security guard look you in the eye and say, "Access Denied"? We spend our lives—and our bank accounts—frantically trying to build up earthly credentials. We want the right title, the right income, and the right reputation to prove to the world that we matter and that we belong. But what happens when the systems we trust suddenly fail us? In this message from Acts 22, we dive into the terrifying fragility of our worldly status and look at the absolute mic-drop moment when the Apostle Paul leverages his Roman citizenship to stop a brutal interrogation in its tracks. Earthly privilege isn't inherently evil—but it makes a terrible god. If you are exhausted from constantly defending your ego, weaponizing your rights, and worrying about losing your place in the world, this message is for you. Tune in to discover what it means to live boldly as a "dual citizen," and why the Christian hope isn't about scrambling for a better VIP laminate to get through the gates of Heaven. It is about a Savior who steps completely outside the gate to personally bring you in. Listen/Watch now to find out why your name is already on the only guest list that matters.
