The Freedom Series
"One Nation Under god - What Does that Mean?"
Pastor Dave Scherrer
July 1, 2007

1 Peter 2:13-17

Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

A nation under God:

• What is my heart attitude?
  Love the brotherhood of believers
• How do I really live?
  Fear God
• Who do I ultimately serve?
  Honor the King

Bottom Line: Prayer and Vigilance
