What is the Gospel? What is meant by the Kingdom of Heaven? In this new sermon series, we will look at what makes the Gospel good news and what the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven means for us.
As we explore what Jesus meant when He proclaimed that the Kingdom of Heaven has come near, we will see how the reality of the Kingdom is 3-dimensional. It is the forward-back, upside-down, and inside-out good news of God’s saving work in Christ, and in this series, we will look at how the 3-dimensional reality of the Kingdom shapes our church’s mission and values. The Gospel of Jesus and His Kingdom we will see, reaches each of u personally, but it is not a private matter.
Join us as we seek to see the Gospel in 3D and how the good news of Jesus and His Kingdom shapes our mission and values.
