Having a correct view of God and of ourselves are vital ingredients if we are to bear fruit in this coming Kingdom.

New Testament Christianity was focused on the return of Jesus, so we need be aware of what is going to happen and what it means for us now.

Dan spoke on the parable of the unforgiving servant and reminded us that just as Jesus has shown us mercy and grace in forgiving us, so too must we display that to others and forgive them.

In 1 Thessalonians Paul writes of the proven track record towards the church, in how they lived their lives in working hard, their attitude towards them and how they were never a burden to them. Matt taught out of 1 Thess. 2 on how these same examples and heart-attitudes should be the hallmark for all our leadership in King’s as well.

The Parable of the ten bridesmaids talks of the Kingdom of Jesus that has not yet come, and warns us to be ready for when it arrives. Dara talked about how we can be ready, and that it is the Holy Spirit who helps us with this.

1 Thessalonians writes of what the new Christians in Thessalonica were doing well which helped them to mature quickly in their faith. Dan brought 3 points out that Paul highlighted in them, that we should also be doing to mature and to spread the Gospel.
