Sermon Outline
1.There’s No Such Thing as Neutrality – When Christians stay silent, unbiblical ideologies fill the space left behind.
2.Christ Is the Sign of Contradiction – The world’s hostility toward truth and righteousness is nothing new; Jesus Himself was opposed, and His followers will be too.
3.We resist not through anger or fear, but standing firm in faithful witness, courage, and love — trusting that Christ has already overcome the world.
Discussion Questions
1.Why do so many people believe the ‘Culture Wars’ are irrelevant to New Zealand—and how might that attitude actually endanger our faith?
2.In what ways can we live as Christ’s ‘signs of contradiction’ without becoming bitter or combative?
3.What practical steps can we take—in our homes, schools, and churches—to resist worldly ideologies and remain firm in our faith?
