The Word

We look at the New Covenant expressed by the symbol of New Jerusalem the City of God wherein God dwells with his people.

“The Kingdom in Symbols”. We look at two symbols used by the New Testament writers to picture the Old and New Covenants. This message was originally delivered at Memory Chapel on May 7, 2023.

The New Arrangement that God made with His people through Christ’s sacrifice is the basis of the kingdom of God. Let’s see how this New Arrangement is fundamentally different from the Old Arrangement. This message was originally given at Memory Chapel on April 30, 2023.

Jesus had told his disciples to pray for the Father’s kingdom to come… but also indicated that it was a present reality in their midst and an opportunity that must be entered into. Then, on the night he was betrayed, he indicated that it was something that awaited fulfillment. Today we will look at what has to be fulfilled in order for the kingdom to fully come. This message was originally delivered at Memory Chapel on Easter Sunday April 9, And 2023.

The rule of the king was never in question; it's the rebels we are worried about!

Daniel predicted the exact time of Messiah's arrival, execution, and initiation of a new and living way. The rebels would be reconciled into the

rule of the king - if they will humble themselves and enter in! Luke 11:1-4; Daniel 2:31-45; Daniel 9:24-27; Luke 19:28-40

Abraham's promised descendant would also be a descendant of David that will rule forever and build the house for the Lord. But is the promise shattered when the Lord judges Israel and Judah for their iniquity and scatters them amongst the nations?! How do these two national tragedies and the additional promises of the Lord for a complete regathering of God's people shape the expectations of a nation? Isaiah 39:5-7; Isaiah 40:1-2; Ezekiel 36:16-19; Ezekiel 36:24-30; Ezekiel 36:33-38; Ezekiel 37

The outworking of the Lord’s redemptive plan for humanity had a number of pivotal moments, such as when the Lord called Abraham. Today we look at another one of these pivotal moments: The Lord’s promise and oath to David concerning a descendant who would reign over the Lord’s kingdom forever and who would build the house of the Lord.

The second request of the prayer that Jesus taught his students to pray is for God’s kingdom to come. To understand the request, we must understand the concept of the kingdom of God. We begin laying the groundwork for our understanding of the kingdom by taking a big picture look at the sweep of the scriptures so that we can uncover the roots of the kingdom as well as the rejection of the king in a long ago time.
