Mike Erre and Tim Stafford kick off a transformative series that reexamines salvation through the lens of the Kingdom of God. Challenging the traditional, individualized gospel message, they delve into the rich biblical narrative of God's kingship from Genesis to Revelation. By exploring how Jesus' central message of the Kingdom reshapes our understanding of faith, grace, works, and salvation, Mike and Tim invite listeners to embrace a more expansive and communal vision of the gospel that impacts every aspect of life.

Key Takeaways:

• The Kingdom of God as the Core of Jesus' Message – Understanding how the announcement of God's kingship is central to the entire biblical story and redefines salvation.
• From Individualism to Community – Moving beyond a narrow, personal view of salvation to a holistic understanding that encompasses social, political, and economic realities.
• The Direction of God's Movement – Recognizing that God's Kingdom is coming to us, bringing heaven to earth, rather than us escaping to heaven.
• Implications for Faith and Practice – Discussing how reimagining salvation affects our daily lives, relationships, and the way we engage with the world as participants in God's Kingdom.
