What is the Kingdom of God? It's not just a better way of doing things. It's not just a power structure contrary to the capitalistic, socialistic, or communistic world views. It's not just something to fight the narcissistic idolatry of our society, or a maverick political movement to fight oppressive rules and reigns. It's so much more than any of them. All of their arguments, it turns out, are the wrong conversations to be having. It turns out the Kingdom of God is about one thing...
More DescriptionWhat is the Kingdom of God? It's not just a better way of doing things. It's not just a power structure contrary to the capitalistic, socialistic, or communistic world views. It's not just something to fight the narcissistic idolatry of our society, or a maverick political movement to fight oppressive rules and reigns. It's so much more than any of them. All of their arguments, it turns out, are the wrong conversations to be having. It turns out the Kingdom of God is about one thing and one thing only.Jesus.Once seen, we can see nothing else. We began to read the Bible from a whole new perceptive. It's not just parts of the New Testament that is about the Kingdom of God. The WHOLE Bible is about it. It isn't just a concept weaved through all the other stories about the law, and morality, and justice, and peace. It was the ONLY story the Bible tells. From the opening scenes in Genesis, to John's corporate prayer of "Come Lord Jesus" in Revelation, there is only one tale being told.It's ALL and ONLY about the Kingdom of God.And the Kingdom of God is ALL and ONLY about JESUS."Two trees stood in the garden..." That is how the great story of the Kingdom of God on this earth begins. We talk, preach, motivate, and strive towards the Kingdom of God in the Church, but many can't even put into words a description of exactly what it is! It's no less than a divine adventure God has willed for us all to experience. It's an adventure that is curated to prepare the church for a great coming revival. Here we dive into the first in a series of conversations that not only defines why this was such a central discussion of Jesus' ministry, but how it is destined to change our lives right here and right now. Welcome, my friends! Welcome to Jesusland.
