Lesson 2: Kingdom Culture
November 28 & 29, 2020
When we realize we belong to a Kingdom before we belong to a country… it changes EVERYTHING
Colossians 3:10 You are living a brand new kind of life that is continually learning more and more of what is right, and trying constantly to be more and more like Christ who created this new life within you. Living Bible
