Series Information
“Kingdom” is a foreign concept in contemporary society. Much is lost in translation between the teachings of Christ concerning the Kingdom of God and the reality of living a Kingdom-centered life. Many believers do not realize that at the moment they are saved, not only are they forgiven of all their sins, but also they become part of something larger than themselves. They are now citizens of the Kingdom of God. This Kingdom is full of purpose, community, and Christ-centered living. The Kingdom of God is one of the main themes in the teachings of Jesus. When the Kingdom of God is taught clearly, the believer will have a greater sense of Godly purpose, connection with the Church, and eternal hope. The Kingdom of God is happening now and gives us hope for the future.
