Jesus Sends Pilgrims into Battle: Gospel in Hostile Territory

🙏 In this powerful sermon from Luke 22, Pastor Scott LaPierre unpacks Jesus’ final instructions to His disciples, revealing the call for believers to live as pilgrims in hostile environments. As the world grows increasingly resistant to the Gospel, Christians today must understand their true citizenship and mission.

🌍 From being royal ambassadors during Christ’s ministry to becoming pilgrims in hostile environments after His crucifixion, the disciples’ journey mirrors our own. This message is a wake-up call to reject earthly comforts and embrace our eternal home.

✝️ Pastor Scott explores the gospel’s progression through redemptive history — from “The Messiah is coming” in the Old Testament, to “The Kingdom has come” during Christ’s earthly ministry, and finally to “Christ crucified” in Acts and beyond. As believers, we too are sent into a fallen world to carry out God’s mission as pilgrims in hostile environments.
