Every person needs to be delivered and renewed. Moses delivered Israel from slavery, but could not renew the minds of the freed to live like they were free. Similarly, we have been delivered from enslavement to sin by Jesus but we need our minds renewed to think like Jesus so that we can live free. The Holy Spirit renews our minds if we allow Him, helping us take thought captive. In this message, Matt describes explains how we can be free from listening to the accusations that come against the free.

Those that have gone before us experienced trials and hardships that are rarely found in our western culture today, yet Jesus and other New Testament writers share with us that the fiery trials, the difficulties and hardships that we all face are actually remarkable gifts and opportunities. It's important for us to interpret our troubles rightly. Fiery trials produce gold and those who overcome are rewarded with treasures by Jesus personally - treasures that are beyond our imagination. We were born to go through trouble, to wrestle and struggle with difficult things with joy. The kind of joy that Jesus had as He kept His eyes on the prize that awaited Him.

Continuing from last week, Matt shares about how the Kingdom of Heaven is the description of everything that Jesus is, what He did, the atmosphere and culture that He brought, and the very thing we have inside of us to give away. Like advanced technology from another planet, the Kingdom of Heaven is the power and answer to the world's ills and issues. We are here as awakened children of God to live and behave like Jesus, seeking the Kingdom, praying for the Kingdom, demonstrating and proclaiming the kingdom until Jesus returns to rule over all the kingdoms of this world.

Inside of every person on the planet is desire to be a part of something great, to do something that counts, to be a part of something that truly satisfies. Jesus said there is something that meets every desire and changes the world. This thing is the mysterious and wonderful Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is probably not what you think. It’s not the church, it’s not a system, but it is the very thing Jesus said to pray for, seek and pursue above everything else. In this message, Matt begins a two part series of exploring the Kingdom of Heaven.
