We Live in Babylon

We have now returned from the Feast where for eight days our focus was on God's kingdom. But now, being home again, we are quickly reminded that we are not now living in God's kingdom but instead we are still living in Babylon. In this sermon Mr. Smith shows us principles from the Bible on how we are to keep our spiritual focus on the kingdom of God while we live out our physical lives in Babylon.
