The kingdom of God... the way things really are.
Matthew 13:31-33
As we live in faithfulness to Christ the King, his reign will have a transformational effect on us.
Kingdom:
arriving - at hand
experience now - within you
coming - end of time
reduce - just the church
spiritualize - realized now
postpone - afterlife
Psalm 47:1-4
Psalm 96:10-13
Zechariah 2:10-11
being Kingdom people...
God invites us to be a part of what He is already doing.
Matthew 13:32-33
Matthew 13:24-26
TENSION: already here | not yet here
The condition of your heart radically dictates what the Kingdom looks like in your life.
We are invited to embrace the vision of Jesus, and enter our own world as his representatives.
