Citizenship in the Kingdom comes with responsibilities. Part of those responsibilities is to be stewards of the Kingdom. Citizens faithfully help others know and enjoy the King, Jesus.

Not everyone who is impacted by the Kingdom of God is a part of it. Only God has the final say on who is a citizen of the Kingdom. Because a separation between the saved and lost will happen, we must reach as many people as possible while we can.

The parables of the treasure and the pearl of great value show us one simple truth: the Kingdom of God is worth every sacrifice would could ever be called upon to make.

The Kingdom starts small. It grows high, and it goes deep.

Our King is one who patiently nurtures His children and patiently deals with His enemies. We should be energized by Our King's patience to repent of pride and hatred, to reach as many people as possible, to commit to growing in an imperfect church surrounded by imperfect people.

God has told us exactly how His Kingdom will grown: through His Word.

As Christians, we must spread God's Word, allow God's Word to take root in our lives, and nurture God's Word.

If we do that, then God's Word will grow God's Kingdom.

The Kingdom of God is a mystery, and we have been invited in by Jesus to uncover those secrets.
