What Gospel Did Jesus & the Apostles Teach?
Scripture is very clear about what the nature of the good news is. We can look at the words of Christ or the early Apostles to see this. Even John the Baptist, who did not inherit, nor understand the kingdom, preached of its arrival through Jesus. However, because we’ve heard the wrong thing so often, […]
The Gospel of the Kingdom – The Purpose & Plan of God Pointing Towards Fulfillment
What is the gospel (good news)? We stated last week that what we normally hear presented as the gospel is but a shell of the good news Christ and the apostles taught. We have an event scheduled tonight to deliver and discuss the pure, unfiltered gospel as taught by Christ which you can sign up […]
Taught By God
Almost three years ago, I visited Israel with Kara, Joe, & Glenn and some new friends which made up our mission trip team. One night the section of our group was in the home of some Jewish believers for their fellowship meeting. At the beginning of the formal time, we all began to pray and […]
The Gospel of the Kingdom Symposium – February 16th, 2010
You’re familiar with typical representation of the Gospel: Man, through Adam, sinned and thus was separated from God. Jesus then was sent to the world to live a life absent of sin and thus redeem mankind from eternal damnation by offering Himself as the needed sacrifice. Thus for all those who accept Him, a wonderful, […]
Questions for Revelation
In this chapter, we looked at some of the laws within the Kingdom of God. We began with an observation of two forms of life in the natural world to gain some understanding of spiritual laws. Spiritual wisdom can be received from observing familiar types and shadows in the natural world. What stood out to […]
The Law of Righteousness and Justice
The Kingdom of God is built upon righteousness and justice. Anything built upon this foundation will prosper. If it is not, it will fail. Psm 89:14 [NIV] 14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. Isa 33:5-6 [NIV] 5The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high; he […]
The Law of Priority
The Law of Priority states that life in the Kingdom comes first, then life in the world. In other words, spiritual things first, then natural things. Matt 6:31-33 [NIV] 31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For the pagans run after all these […]
The Law of Love
God is love. Life in His Kingdom is issued from His love and flows into His love. As His children, we need to love Him as well as love one another. Matt 22:35-40 [NIV] 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the […]
The Law of Seasons
A life grows from season to season. Each season amounts to a process of rebirth, without which, life cannot be permitted to move in to the next phase of life. And each season, the way a life is provided for changes. Psm 1:1-3 [NIV] 1Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel […]
The Law of Light
From darkness to light is the passage of any life. No life that remains in darkness will attain its full potential. Spiritually speaking, it is the same. Jesus declared that He is the Light and He would make his disciples the same. They would become light to the world. John 8:12 [NIV] 12When Jesus spoke […]
