"Preaching & Teaching: The Gospel of the Kingdom"

"Preaching and teaching the Gospel of the Kingdom" is all about "proclaiming the truth of the life and ministry, saving and healing power, and the glorious resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ for eternal salvation, victorious living, and heavenly bliss for all eternity"; to EVERYONE who will listen and receive "the ETERNAL gift", packaged in the Gospel Message.

 Most people know what they’ve done wrong, what they’re doing wrong, and what they should be doing; so what does long sermons about how horrible of a sinner we all are really going to accomplish for the Kingdom of God?

·         Nothing more than leading immature believers into further condemnation, or the sinner into a prison of shame, because they know that their weak, frail, and prone to return back to their old ways or sin.
 
Preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, is proclaiming the "kingdom ideals" and sharing the good news from the Word of God, which automatically reveals “the standard”, in the person of Jesus Christ.  It brings the saint and sinner into full awareness of the finished work, the grace of God, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit to equip them to live a victorious life without staying in condemnation or being unable to live up to the perfect standard of the law – Jesus did it for us!

 Jesus Christ:

·         Is our righteousness both now and throughout all eternity (Jer. 33:16)

·         Fulfilled all righteousness (the law’s perfect standard) on behalf of all mankind (Matt. 3:15)

·         Imputed His righteousness upon every believer who has accepted Him as Savior and Lord (Isa. 61:10-11)

·         Provides righteousness by faith to all who believe on His name “by faith alone” and “grace alone”, but not of works so that no one may boast (Eph. 2:8-9; Phil. 3:8-9)

 Jesus knew exactly who He was calling when He chose the twelve disciples.  He did not indoctrinate any of them who chose to follow Him – He simply asked questions and made statements that spoke to their own heart searching and longing; then He developed relationships one day at a time.

 A deliberately condemning gospel and a sin-bashing preacher is devoid of the true and required understanding of the finished work of Christ at Calvary; and often vacillates between great victory and agonizing defeat themselves, because the message they preach is full of the mixture of law and grace.
 
The laws and principles of the kingdom need to be taught so that every disciple is prepared to live victoriously on earth in their unique calling and assignment; but ultimately for the responsibility they will fulfill throughout eternity.  God’s economy is different, and our preparation for eternity with Him is crucial, because the rewards and opportunities have everything to do with the faith we’re developing now for the life to come.
 
When believers discover their place in God’s kingdom work, there will neither be competition or jealousy brewing within hearts toward other people.
 
Exercising faith is NEVER a burden, when your faith is based upon and resting in - the Word of God! 

If you act upon the word, you have nothing to fear, nothing to manufacture, and nothing to stay awake about!  You let the confidence of the sustaining power of the God’s word, which the universe and the entire world as we know it, rests upon – and the journey will be without any strain, stress or struggle!
