The Kingdom: Intro

Feb 23, 2025    Jeff O'Harra

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine which kingdom truly rules our hearts - the kingdom of this world or the Kingdom of God. The central theme revolves around Jesus' teachings on the Beatitudes and the nature of God's Kingdom. We're reminded that God's Kingdom isn't about outward appearances or transactional relationships, but about inner transformation. The parable of the mustard seed beautifully illustrates how small acts of faith can grow into something magnificent. As we reflect on our own lives, we're encouraged to ask: Are we living as citizens of God's Kingdom? Are we allowing His transformative power to work in us, producing the fruit of the Spirit? This message challenges us to seek first the Kingdom of God, to let our light shine in this dark world, and to live in a way that reflects Christ to those around us. It's a call to move beyond surface-level Christianity and truly embody the values of God's Kingdom in our daily lives.
