Two Kingdoms - Part 4Sample

The crowds were astonished and overwhelmed at His teaching! Can you imagine what that must have been like to have heard about the coming Messiah your whole life and then to sit on a mountain with Him while He reveals truth after truth about how to make God’s Kingdom seen here on earth? The earthly kingdom they thought they knew and loved had to have been completely shattered and turned upside down by Jesus’ words! They were overwhelmed because Jesus was teaching with authority...the very same authority you and I have through the Holy Spirit. Are you ready to astonish and overwhelm your friends and family?

GO DEEP

You do have the authority to teach and live like Jesus, but first, you need to think through a few questions. Does your life tell others about our Father? Are you producing good fruit? Are you acting like salt and light for those who don’t know Him? Is your life an example of how God’s Kingdom people live?

We’re not asking if you are perfect...none of us are. But are you ready to refocus and recommit to bringing the Kingdom of God to earth and denying the evil and sin of the kingdom of this world?

BE BOLD

You can’t do it alone. You need Jesus, and you need others. Make a commitment today to find two or more people to join you. Meet regularly to study scripture and pray. Ask God questions like, “Are there areas in my community where God is asking me to be HOPE of others? Are there people around the world who need to hear the good news of the Kingdom of God? What can I do?

What is the first step He wants you to take?
