You're a citizen of the eternal kingdom of God. If you're not, you're a citizen of the eternal kingdom of God.

If you're not, you're a citizen of the eternal kingdom of darkness, but you have citizenship in eternity. And you better sort out of... of It's not by joining a church or being a part of the right denomination or reading the right translation of the Bible or it's not even about your beverage list

It's about a person in his name is Jesus of Nazareth and if you haven't chosen him as the Lord of your, and if you're not living as if he were Lord of your life, you're not a citizen of that kingdom.

The theme we're working on has to do with America.

And in this particular session, I want to speak to you about the prodigals return.

But I want to start, I've been talking to you about as

American as apple pie for a few weeks. We gave apple pies to all the kids last

week. I think they're getting apple sauce today. It's more portable than less messy. We learn, we learn.

That little phrase some weeks ago when I was praying about this fall and I really felt that

impression to talk about the how integrated the

kept bouncing around in my head was as American as apple pie.

And there were some other pieces that I couldn't really get cl- I didn't remember where the phrase had come from and I couldn't find a great historical reference.

And so I finally got online when all else fails

ask Google huh? They'd be not the best they'll track your questions but hey they need to know that the Christian faith is a part of our nation from its beginning as well.
