Stephen Nichols: Strangers and Exiles

Summary

The sermon theme is our identity as strangers and exiles in this world, rooted in scripture like 1 Peter 2:9-12 and the story of Hosea, which highlights our transition from not belonging to God's people. The practical takeaway is that because we are God's chosen, we must live honorably among non-believers, abstaining from fleshly passions to demonstrate God's goodness.
