Why the Story of the Bible Ends With a City • The City Ep. 13
In the Bible, cities have a bad reputation as centers of immorality and unrighteous living. First-century followers of Jesus continued to live in cities, but they lived by an other-worldly ethic set by Jesus. Their way of living was so different that Jesus’ followers began to talk about their citizenship being primarily in a coming heavenly city, rather than the physical city in which they lived. In this episode, join Jon and Tim as they wrap up our theme study of the city. Show Music “Defender (Instrumental)” by TENTS “Lost Love” by Toonorth “Acquired In Heaven” by Beautiful Eulogy

Failing to honor God is deeply connected to failing to honor people.
