SS020 - How to Truly Live in the Kingdom of God (While Still Alive)

“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you.” It’s easy to say, but what does it really mean? What is the kingdom of God? How do we seek it? Will it really pay off, and does it really matter if it does? The Sermon on the Mount sheds light on  these questions and more, and today we take a look at the answers.

Join us as we talk about the kingdom of God. We talk about entrusting tomorrow to God, remaining peaceful, and acting on an attitude of service. We discuss the dangers of outrage, which is productive much less often than most people think. We also cover topics such as the characteristics of the kingdom of God, the importance of a nonjudgmental attitude, using compassion as a benchmark to judge our actions, and solitude. We end with a warning that we can’t serve both the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the world, and we call you to choose once and for all which you will serve.


“Every good thing, when it is under the kingship of Christ, becomes a better thing.”


“If you want to be successful, don’t work on being wonderful...If you want to be successful, make yourself useful.”


“If anything interferes with compassion, stop. Back it up.”
