The answer to the question of today’s message is yes and yes. By that I mean the kingdom had come in Jesus day but he also spoke of the kingdom in the future. Jesus told his hearers "if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you" ( Luke 11:20, and then he says I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God" ( Mark 14:25 ). So we hope to talk about both today.

We must remember that God gave us His precious gospel and we must never deviate from it.

We must never depart from the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. God made everything in the beginning and it was Him that raised Jesus up from the dead.

People treat their Salvation like they treat their 401k or retirement plan. It is good once they retire. God wants you to have everlasting life on earth and that means to start living like it now with the joy that comes from knowing Him.

Yoking or teaming up with unbelievers causes Idolatry, so that means it pulls your heart away from God. If you yoke a elephant with and ox the plowing will not go so well. Yet believers are plowing with non-believers and wonder why it is not working.

God is the Rock that we can trust to deliver us always, just like he did for David, Paul, or Joseph. God can be trusted because he is forever faithful.

Learn the essentials of the Christian faith, but don't waste time arguing with those who don't want the truth. I will list some essentials here: The Deity of Christ: Salvation by Grace: The Resurrection of Christ: The Gospel: Doctrine of the Trinity: Jesus Virgin Birth: Jesus is the only way to salvation: Monotheism:

God Almighty does not need more religious people, He needs more Spirit filled warriors. The Commandments are summed up in "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love is what made God send Jesus and and Love is what made Jesus come.

God has always made provision for His people and he always will. Job says "Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?" No one can fully understand God's ways because they past understanding.

The most important part of a house or building is the foundation. Jesus is the Chief Corner Stone or The Foundation of the Church. So if the foundation is solid through out eternity God's Promises are sure and His Word stands forever.
