Life and life to the full is found in the reminder that we are but tenants and not owners. Will we have eyes to see this and will it be good news to our souls?

We only begin to see the true substance of the Kingdom of God, when we find our ultimate delight in King Jesus and His ways. We cannot give our primary affection and attention to building our own kingdom and the Kingdom of God at the same time. Jesus though, graciously offers us a place at His table in a far superior Kingdom, where He reigns supreme, for His own glory and our joy.

This life matters. What we do now and how we finish by the grace of God is of eternal significance.

The Kingdom, eternal life, heaven, salvation are all terms that allude to the same reality. And yet, each one uniquely helps us understand that we are being brought out of something and transferred to something else entirely. Jesus helps us to see what it means to receive the Kingdom like a child.

Jesus gives us a vision for the kind of work that God is doing in order to make ready a people for His Kingdom.

If the kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, how do we see it?

Faith IN a big God produces a radical obedience that was meant to terminate on Jesus being the center of our worship.

We must learn to see the mercy of God in light of eternity.

The question is not whether we will be faithful or not. The question is to whom or what we will be faithful. Jesus invites us to a life of faithfulness to the One who is ultimately faithful.

When God asks Adam where he is in the garden we need to understand that it is really an invitation of sorts. Many of the Psalms are an honest answer to that question. It would be redemptive for our heart and soul if we were better at answering this question as well.
