In this sermon: Land Of My Sojourn, God expects us to be just like Joshua, Rahab, and Ruth. We are called to leave behind our citizenship in this world to become resident aliens within it. Called to give up all that we have in this world to live in a world where we are strangers. We are called to sojourn in this land.

Yet, we are also called to bring others along on our journey. Just as Joshua saved Rahab and made her a resident of Israel, so we should call out those around us. We should call our friends, neighbors, and family to renounce their citizenship in this world to become sojourners and resident aliens in this land.

So even though we are sojourners in this land and resident aliens in our own country, be good people. Recognize that the world will always be at odds with us, but we should not be at odds with this world.
