Jesus opens His ministry with the words “Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand”. Many people today understand the Kingdom as something in the future but neglect the verses that talk about the Kingdom being a present reality. This message is about the Kingdom of God coming and being a reality on earth today.

Today the much of the church is weak and useless. This is in part due to Premillennialism. Christians have a defeated attitude and lifestyle that needs to change. There is no rapture coming to save you. Get off your couch and trust in Christ and his promises. This world is ours.

Repent, For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! First sermon down at the Gospel Mission.
