Series: How does the gospel shape our lives?
Week 2 - October 2, 2005
The City - We have a strong city
The history of the world as a "tale of two cities." There is the "lofty" city of man, which is society based on pride and self-promotion and therefore is a place of exhaustion and oppression. There is also the "strong city" of God, which is society based on service to God and others and therefore is a place of joy and justice. Our job is to spread the heavenly city within the earthly city.

Download this week's Vision paper
Please read this Vision paper as a follow-up to each week's group discussion, not as preparation for it. We hope these papers, written by Tim Keller, will help people understand more details about how each particular aspect of the vision works itself out in the life of the church. Each paper gives answers to the kinds of more practical questions that are likely to come up from the group's discussion of the sermon.
