Does the 21st century nation state of Peru play an essential role in salvation history? Short answer: Of course not. God loves Peruvians! But Peru the cultural/political body is not critical to the plan redemption. So why do many American Christians suspect that the US, as a nation (or a cultural dimension of the nation), is a divinely ordained actor on the stage of cosmic salvation? The (mistaken) answer is located deep in both church and American history, and needs to be corrected for the health of both. If you'd like to follow along with the sermon text, the passage is:

Genesis 12:1-3 (NRSV)

This sermon was preached on July 5, 2020 at Canvas Presbyterian Church (Irvine, CA).
