Working Together to Impact the Kingdom Agenda
by William Wyne
The story is told that during WW II, a church in Strasburg, France was severely damaged by the many bombs that fell near and around the city. This church had been in that city for hundreds of years, and it was well known and quite a church building. The Pastor and leaders of the church met to assess the damages and also began the long process of plans for the restoration of their sacred place. This church also was known for having a beautiful statue in the front; it was perhaps one of the ways that served as a landmark for this church. It was a large statue of Christ; it was done with the finest material and proved to be an...
Extending the Kingdom (37 of 40)
by Jesus Culture Resources
Jesus taught His followers to pray that the Kingdom would come on Earth as it is in Heaven, and then He enabled the Kingdom to come! This week, we will explore our part in bringing Heaven to Earth. Main Scripture: Philippians 3:1-14 EQUIP: Vision for expanding the Kingdom Teaching Point 1: Christ is of surpassing and unimaginable worth. More of Jesus is worth any cost we might need to pay (PHILIPPIANS 3:8). His plans for the Earth will change our reasoning and values forever. The apostle Paul used to live for his identity, his country, his heritage, his title, and his good works. ''I was circumcised when I was eight days...
The King and His Kingdom (2 of 4)
by James Merritt
Perhaps the most famous kingdom on the planet today is a make-believe kingdom called the Magic Kingdom. It is found in Disney World. Can you imagine if this entire world was indeed a magic kingdom? Think about it. Everything would be clean; everybody would be nice; all news would be good news; the only work would be play, and the only object would be fun; and life would be a thrill a minute. There would, however, be two problems if all of the world was a magic kingdom. First of all, most of the world could not afford to get in (have you seen the prices at Disney World lately?) But the other problem is this: Has it ever occurred to...
The Kingdom Advancing Life (14 of 15)
by Zach Terry
Well it seems most everyone's team won this weekend. I always remind folks not to ever skip church to watch a ball game or God might, just might decide to punish your team in a bowl game later in the season to teach you a lesson. Just saying… I'm not superstitious… but I've seen it happen many times and it will be YOUR fault. The cool thing about sports in general and football in particular is that while there is a lot of strategy and nuance involved the goal is remarkably simple - score more points than the other team. For the individual player - get the ball a little further down the field. I think Paul would say that in many ways...
The Kingdom of God Is Growing (2 of 4)
by Brian Fletcher
In Mark 4, Jesus tells a series of parables about the kingdom of God. Three of the parables center around seeds and one is about a lamp. All four parables give us a picture of what the people in the kingdom of God are supposed to be doing. So Jesus is teaching and explaining to a crowd of people what is involved in living in the kingdom of God and how the kingdom of God grows larger. Here is a diagram that begins with the universe, the world and the kingdom of God. We would see that the kingdom of God is expanding and growing. The central figure in the Kingdom of God is Jesus Christ, the Word made...
The Keys of the Kingdom!
by Marvin D. Patterson
We have been studying in Matthew's Gospel, and we have learned many wonderful truths. Last week we saw that Christ will build His church! No man, demon, nor even Satan himself can destroy or stop the Church that Jesus builds. That is a great encouragement to us here at Grace Baptist Church. We are a part of that church, and God will bless us and build our church as long as we keep Him first in our lives! He is to have the preeminence in whatever we are to do, we are to please Him, and glorify our Father in heaven! As we finish this great chapter, we are going to see that there are still some very rich and rewarding truths...
Kingdom Parables
by David Cook
Elvis Presley is known as the "King of Rock-n-Roll." Perhaps there's been no greater music entertainer in the past 100 years that has used his talents to shake up the crowd, like Elvis. Thinking over the latter years of Elvis' life and his drug overdose, do you think he would do things differently if given another chance? Do you think he would have invested in a different way? Our Heavenly King has given each of us the awesome opportunity to invest our lives, using the gifts and talents He's invested in us to minister. The best investment of your life is investing back into the King's service! We will give an account one day...
Kingdom (3 of 6)
by Jason Dees
So when I met Paige five years ago, she was not a Baptist and I took her to the Southern Baptist Convention with me the June following our wedding in May. So one month into marriage I took Paige to a meeting of 8,000 pastors. Needless to say that was not the wisest moment in my marriage, but while she was there wading her way through that event she began to connect with people and she was forced to listen to the reports and learn about all of the amazing things that God is doing through our denomination of churches. So at Valleydale we unite ourselves in mission with 45,000 other churches who share a common...
The Kingdom of God (19 of 70)
by Jerry Watts
Jesus gives two Parables concerning the Kingdom of God. We tend to use that term and most don't really understand it. What is it? Can you describe it? Where is it? Candidly, most people today are not familiar with the lifestyle of a Kingdom so they don't really understand this. Kingdoms are still prevalent on the other side of the globe, and even more so in days past. They were and are built largely by force and what we know as imperialism. A Kingdom is not led by a president who is elected by and answerable to the people. A Kingdom is ruled by a monarch, a despot, an emperor, or a KING. His word is the rule of law. There...
Christ's Coming Kingdom
by Daniel Rodgers
The book of Micah bears the name of its author, Micah, the prophet. Micah was an Old Testament prophet during the time of the Isaiah, Hosea, and Amos. He prophesied during the reins of Jotham, Ahaz and King Hezekiah. All of these kings were kings of Judah, and Micah was a prophet to Judah. Though Micah was a prophet to Judah, much of this prophecy is directed at the Northern Kingdom of Israel, during their time of attack from the Assyrians (1:1) 2. Chapter four is a prophecy that jumps ahead in time to the Millennial Kingdom, in which the Lord will rein as King of Israel and King over the earth. Standing in the...
Not far from the kingdom of god
by Rex Yancey
As we consider this text, Jesus is at the end of one of the longest and hardest days of his life. He had begun early that morning answering questions by those who were trying to trick him. This was on a Tuesday and the day Jesus had cleanses the Temple. This brought anger to both the Pharisees and the Sadducees. In 11:27-33 his authority was questioned. In 12:13-17, he answered the tribute question. In 12:18-27, he answered the questions of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. In 12:28-34 He answered the Great Commandment question. The Scribes thought there were 613 commandments, 248 positive, and...

The Kingdom of Heaven (1 of 12)
by Will McGee
When I was in high school, I had an English Literature teacher. Mrs. Esslinger. To this day, she is the best teacher I've ever had. One of the best lessons she taught me, was the importance of context when it comes to reading. When we read The Crucible... The play by Arthur Miller... We spent a week or two studying the history of the Salem Witch Trials. Before we ever even started the play. We even took a summer field trip to Salem, Mass. When we read A Farewell to Arms, we spent a week learning the biographical details of Ernest Hemmingway's life. His macho persona that was a defense mechanism to hide his insecurities...
Advance Placement Tests (in God's Kingdom)
by Lenny Ports
Genesis 50:20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Although God's plan for Joseph was to exalt him to a place where he would be used to save many, the process to get him to that place was difficult and filled with Adversity. Before he was raised up as the second in command in all of Egypt, he first had to experience the tests of rejection, betrayal, lust, revenge, bitterness, and the agony of being forgotten. Every great man or woman of God is tested. If it is God's plan to save many through you, He may have to bring you...

The Growth of God's Kingdom (11 of 25)
by Collin Wimberly
Jesus explains to his disciples how the Kingdom of God grows. Proposition - Christians today can be confident and encouraged by the truths of the Kingdom's Growth. INTRODUCTION: Sometimes the work of the Lord can become frustrating. It can be disappointing. We work hard but see little fruit from our efforts. We shine the light of the gospel and sow the seed of the Word but not much happens. It seems almost futile. Why even continue? William Carey (1761-1834), the father of the modern missionary movement, labored in India 7 years before seeing his 1st Indian convert. He shared the gospel faithfully...
Worthy of His Kingdom (2 of 7)
by Dave Gustavsen
Good morning. Welcome to The Chapel. We are taking nine weeks to walk through the New Testament book of Colossians. And the reason I chose this book is that I've noticed that Christians sometimes miss the main point. Even though the word ''Christian'' is obviously a form of the word ''Christ,'' sometimes we're not focused on Christ very much, and sometimes we don't resemble him very much. And so, in our culture, we can become known not for what we're for-Jesus-but for all the things we're against. Which is not a good thing. So the book of Colossians-which is actually Paul's letter to the Colossians-brings us back...
Kingdom Foundations: The Meaning of God (48 of 48)
by Patrick Edwards
Despite the reconciliation we've seen over the last four chapters between Joseph and his brothers, with Jacob, their father, now dead we see at the outset of our passage this morning the brothers worried about what response Joseph might take toward them. It's in this conversation between Joseph and his brothers that we get one of the most famous lines, not just of Genesis, but of the entire canon. Verse 20, ''As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.'' Joseph declares the brothers innocent of any wrongdoing...
The Kingdom of Heaven Is Like...
by Robert Dawson
It is easy, even as a follow of Jesus Christ, to become discouraged in this life. Disappointment after disappointment and struggle after struggle roll into our lives and with each crushing wave we are reminded that we live in a broken and fallen world. In addition to the discouragement we so often feel we can also become disillusioned and disheartened as we watch evil flourish around us. - Every time I turn on the TV, computer, smart-phone or tablet I see images and read stories that remind me evil still exists all around me and is thriving. - Every day as I struggle with the sinful attitudes and desires of my own heart I am...
