“Kingdom 101 Pt.1: The Priority of God”
Sunday, May 29, 2022
Big Idea:
This week, we emphasized that the Kingdom is God’s priority. In fact, Jesus came preaching, not just the gospel but The Gospel of the Kingdom in particular. He preached “repent (the greek word metanoeo, meaning change your mind/change your thinking) for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand”. However, in the west, we have reduced His message to “repent” and obsessing over our sinfulness. Instead, we who have repented should now set our sights on advancing in the things of the Kingdom, because it is now at hand; within reach. So, we should receive forgiveness, set our minds on the spirit, renew our minds to Kingdom reality & stand fast in our liberty, because God has so much more for us. God is with us and for us. The Kingdom is at hand. Receive and act on what He reveals to you.

Quotes and Key Points:
Key Scriptures:
Matthew 4:17, Matthew 6:33
“Behold”
Big Idea:
Despite constant opportunities in our daily lives to allow and partner with distraction, as children of God, we are called to behold Him. Behold means to look upon intently. As we look upon Jesus, what we are seeing is an accurate representation of who we are. In this weeks sermon Pastor Curtis challenged us to keep our minds set on God, to take every thought captive and refuse to engage in interactions that lead to strife in our lives. When we keep our minds fixed on God we experience the supernatural manifestation of the Spirit-we experience Peace. Connection to the Spirit leads to the peace of the Spirit. One of the greatest weapons we have is to keep our minds set on Him.
Challenge:
1. Behold God. Determine to keep your mind/imagination set on Him.
2. Take every thought captive and refuse to let strife in.
3. Refuse to engage in gossip.
4. Don’t take on other peoples offenses.
