Join Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley for conversation with pastor and author, Jeremy Treat.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• What’s the Kingdom of God?
• When do I enter the Kingdom of God?
• Why is this a helpful paradigm for understanding the whole story of scripture?
• How do we communicate the idea of kingdom in our contemporary moment where we don’t really have kings and kingdoms?
• How do the Kingdom and the Cross intertwine?
• Where is the Kingdom of God helping people understand both the brokenness and beauty of the world in the role of what God is doing?

Helpful Definitions:

• Kingdom of God: God’s reign through God’s people over God’s place. 
• Dwelling: God’s presence with humanity in the world that He created. The story of the Bible is “God with us.”
• Dominion: God’s creation of the world and his command to humanity to extend his glory to all of creation. Dominion relates to the place (Eden/Earth/Kingdom) and the task (Cultural mandate/discipleship) of God’s people.
• Dynasty: The crowning achievement of God’s creation is a people that will reign and rule with God as His vice-regents, or representatives on earth.
• Sovereign: He has the authority to use His power.
