Episode Details

Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Tania Taylor to discuss how our communities can be a piece of heaven on earth.

Getting the bigger picture of our calling as sisters, to further Christ’s kingdom through the local church body.

One of the biggest threats to the church in any given age or place is that of nationalism. How easily we can become sidelined and distracted by the transient problems and interests of our earthly parent country, entangling ourselves with all manner of political causes and ideals that have absolutely nothing to do with our calling to be pilgrims and strangers in this life. When this happens, we ultimately experience confusion and impotence. Where does our allegiance lie? We as Christians have a distinct calling to represent the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Our calling to represent Christ’s Kingdom is best promoted through the everyday expression of local church life. When we get this bigger picture, we can invest ourselves in our local churches with abandon, and in the process, fulfill our divine calling as sisters to help represent little embassies of Heaven—Christ’s Kingdom displayed on earth, just as it is in Heaven.

An interactive question-and-answer period follows.
