Thy Kingdom Come - Part 3 of 3

One day the heavenly Kingdom will be the earthly Kingdom - but not yet! This dual citizenship that we hold - it's a tricky thing. When do we "submit ourselves to the governing authorities," and when do we draw the line in the sand and insist, "We must obey God rather than men?" And if it's not always easy for us to navigate those decisions, for the early Christians, it was a matter of life and death! Pastor Jim has been helping us think about what it means to pray, "Thy Kingdom come," and he'll conclude his remarks today.

Thy Kingdom Come - Part 2 of 3

How could a "son of the kingdom" be denied entrance into the Kingdom? Jesus said it will happen! I think I was a very young boy when I first heard, "God has no grandchildren," meaning: the faith and holiness of your parents isn't transferred to you; you have to come into your own relationship with Him. Well, this may not have been so clear to the descendants of Abraham seated on the grass, hearing the Sermon on the Mount live and in person. If "the Kingdom" is not the Kingdom of Israel, then what is it? Pastor Jim continues his thoughts from yesterday in Part 2 of Thy Kingdom Come.

Thy Kingdom Come - Part 1 of 3

Do you know what you're praying for? When requesting something from the One who has all power, it might be good to understand just what it is we're asking! For example, when we pray, "Thy kingdom come," what would the answer to that prayer look like? When "the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ," will we be dancing with joy, or diving for cover? Jim will give us a detailed picture of this reign, from both Testaments, in his new sermon, Thy Kingdom Come.

The Election Of The King - Part 2 of 2

Ask not what your King can do for you; ask what you can do for your King. The crowds wanted Jesus to feed them, heal them, maybe even entertain them with a nice homily. But the spiritual food He was offering made them gag. Here was a different kind of King - not just asking for a ceremonial bow and a few bucks in taxes, but demanding total allegiance right down to the marrow of our bones. To complete the sermon we started Friday, here's Pastor Jim in the Gospel of Matthew.

The Election Of The King - Part 1 of 2

No elections in the Kingdom of Heaven? I'll vote for that! Democracy is said to be "the worst form of government, except for all the others." But the best form of government would be a kingdom - if we could find a righteous King. Well, He arrived about 2,000 years ago, and He set up some very strict immigration requirements.

Wanna Be Like Dad - Part 2 of 2

God will never ask us to do something He can't do. Oh, the Father will ask us to do plenty that we can't do - forgive others, for example; trust Him for the future, even in a year like this one. His requirements are humanly impossible... but that's how testimonies are made. When we do what we alone can't do, outsiders will have to ask, "How?" From Matthew 6, here's Jim to conclude his message, Wanna Be Like Dad.

Wanna Be Like Dad - Part 1 of 2

If we're "doing our best" to "be good," just consider: anyone can do that! Any atheist, Muslim, animist - fill in the blank - can try to behave well according to his own lights. And Christians do have better lights, but that isn't the core difference between followers of Jesus, and others. There's something more fundamental, more powerful, that can carry us to a different destination. But, to tap into that power we'll have to stop thinking like everyone else. Today Jim begins a new series in a familiar place: the Sermon on the Mount. Here's Part 1 of Wanna Be Like Dad.
