“What is the Kingdom of God?” (Kingdom Culture, pt.1) – 2/2/25 Service
This Sunday, we embark on a journey to explore a profound and transformative truth that Jesus Himself emphasized throughout His ministry—the Kingdom of God. This Kingdom is unlike any earthly realm we can imagine. It is not defined by borders or buildings, nor is it established through political power or human strength. Instead, it is a Kingdom that exists in our midst, unseen yet profoundly real, as Jesus declared in Luke 17:20-21.
As we gather on Sunday, I invite you to open your hearts and minds to the reality of this Kingdom. It is a Kingdom that calls us to a higher way of living, a Kingdom that redefines our values, beliefs, attitudes, priorities, and worldviews. It is a Kingdom that challenges us to examine what rules in our families, workplaces, and communities.
In a world often dominated by visible power and material success, Jesus invites us to see beyond the surface and recognize the divine rule that is already at work among us. He calls us to be active participants in this Kingdom, to proclaim and demonstrate its truth through our lives.
Over the next few weeks, we will delve into what it means to live under the rule of God, to align ourselves with His vision, and to become agents of transformation in a world longing for hope and redemption. Let us prepare our hearts to encounter the living God and His Kingdom, which is not of this world but is very much present in it.
May the Holy Spirit guide us as we seek to understand and embrace the Kingdom of God, allowing it to shape our lives and our church community. Together, let us discover how we can be a part of this divine mission, bringing light to the darkness and hope to the hopeless. Amen.
