We continue the series called "Building the Kingdom" where we look each week at the Israelite Kingdom as it unfolds and progresses. We see a picture of what the earthly kingdom was like and where the leaders may have gone right or wrong. Ultimately, we will see each week that where we get it wrong, Jesus got it right! He is building a Heavenly kingdom that stretches to this earth. His kingdom is eternal!

In his letter to the Philippians, the Apostle Paul wrote from a Roman jail cell. Among the many bits of wisdom he imparted, one thing he said was that he had he was forgetting the things in his past and looking forward to the things God had for him in the future through Jesus Christ. What do YOU have that you wish were erased from your past?

Jesus had all kinds of reasons to say "That's good enough"...But he didn't. He knew why he had come and he was determined to live out that purpose. His life on earth was destined to end up on the cross, and to be placed in a tomb. But he wasn't destined to stay there. Raised up on the third day and later ascended into Heaven, he will one day return.

What is Apologetics and why does it matter? At the first section of his trial, Jesus was placed before the Sanhedrin and asked a question that has been asked multiple times: "Jesus, who are you really? Are you REALLY the Son of God?"
Apologetics seeks to investigate and defend the faith of the Bible. The Sanhedrin asked the question to which many people want a clear answer. Did Jesus clearly answer this question? Listen and find out.

After the Passover Supper, but before his trial, Jesus went out to an olive orchard and spent time in prayer nearby an olive press.
As the weight and cares of the world pressed him, his sweat ran out like drops of blood.

How do you respond when pressed?

Jesus told some rapid-fire parables and furthered the message of the cursed fig tree: He expected to see fruit from Jerusalem and it’s leaders but couldn’t find any. 

They had rejected John’s preaching and baptism, and they were actively rejecting Jesus. Now, their time is up.
