discovering the kingdom...

We began the first of a three-week teaching series on the kingdom tonight. We discussed what the kingdom is and the history of it in scripture. We discussed the start of Jesus' ministry and what it meant when he preached, "repent, the kingdom of heaven is near."

As we go through our daily routines this week, let's be aware of the people we speak to and the things we see and do that give us the sense that the kingdom of heaven is near. Let's also be aware of those things that make us feel that it is distant.

Think about this verse this week, "the kingdom is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field."
