Sermon - Jeff Raines - What is the Kingdom of God? [Mark 1:14-15]
•
Various
Let’s start with what the Kingdom of God is not. It is not any modern nation, not Republican or Democrat. It is not Christian Nationalism. We don’t build, bring, or extend the Kingdom of God. But instead:
- Jesus’ coming brought the Kingdom of God
- The Kingdom of God starts small and spreads everywhere
- The Kingdom of God is where God sets things right
- The Kingdom of God is here… but it is also coming
- The Kingdom of God is a gift
We enter, receive, and inherit the Kingdom of God.
We are not the heroes of the kingdom and we are not the King. We belong to the King and we enter the Kingdom of God when we are faithful and serving and embodying Jesus’ teaching. When we are following Jesus’ mission, purpose, and plan, we are in the Kingdom of God.
