The Scripture theme for this week’s sermon is 1 Peter 2:13-20 - The Way Up is Down. Submission is something that is not positively regarded in our culture today. Nonetheless, over and over in Scripture, we are told to submit - to God, authorities, one another. In today's Scripture, Peter teaches how we can conduct our lives as ambassadors of Christ in a way that gives God glory in a pagan culture - through submission to earthly authorities.
