“Jesus, The Resurrection, and The New Creation”
The Story Continues, Pt 2
The term kingdom is used 160 times in the NT alone.
Jesus consistently spoke about the Kingdom of God more
than any other topic.
The central theme and purpose of all that Jesus did while on
earth was to usher in the Kingdom of God and establish his
rule and reign over everything for all time.
Mark 1:15 NKJV
“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
Colossians 1:13 NLT
He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness
and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son,
Five Necessary Elements To Be A Kingdom
1. There must be a King.
2. There must be a rule and a reign.
3. There is no Kingdom without a people.
4. There must be a will or law of the Kingdom.
The Word of God is the Will and the Law of God’s Kingdom.
5. There must be a sacred space.
What is your role or responsibility as a child of the Kingdom?
Acts 1:4-8 NKJV
And being assembled together with them, He commanded
them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the
Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from
Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be
baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him,
saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to
Israel?” And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times
or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But
you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon
you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in
all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
The fundamental task of the Church is to bear witness to the
Kingdom of God that it already exists now. Our Lord Jesus
Christ has been crowned King and He rules and reigns now.
The number one theme of the parables of Jesus was the
Kingdom of God.
Luke 12:31-32 NKJV
But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be
added to you. “ Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s
good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
The Father has given you the Kingdom with all its promises,
what are you gonna do with this sovereign gift?
It’s Up To You.
