The Kingdom of God in Scripture is now spiritual, but will soon be visible when Jesus returns to this earth to rule and reign in complete peace, justice, and righteousness -- and with the humble who belong to Him joining Him in that reign. However, as important as this subject in Scripture is, it isn't often well-understood.
The Kingdom of God is prominent in Daniel and in Psalm 145 -- and then especially in the Parables and the teaching of Jesus. But what is it? Why is it so important?
This message will attempt to answer these questions in this second of a two-part series.

This is Part 111 in the Know Your Faith Series in the Gospel of Luke -- an in-depth and verse-by-verse study through the entire Gospel of Luke.
This is Part 110 in the Know Your Faith Series in the Gospel of Luke -- an in-depth and verse-by-verse study through the entire Gospel of Luke.
Why Is There Suffering or evil in the World? This is a common question for humanity. Today's passage in Luke 13:1-5 addresses this issue, but it's only one area among the vast answers in Scripture which address this critical topic. Today's message is most vital because the answers come from Jesus.
On occasion, someone has told me, "Ok; I'll give you the answer, but it may not be what you want to hear!" And usually, the person is correct. The truth may sting but it always helps to change behavior and thinking.
This is what we find from the teaching of Jesus today -- a teaching He addressed regarding current events of His day -- and in direct response from someone who wanted to know the reason for suffering and evil.
This is the last in a three-part series on the teaching of Jesus concerning His coming judgment. Whether people want to believe He will judge the world in righteousness is irrelevant. It will happen. The wise person will take His gracious warning to heart.
The wise, faithful Christian loves the entire Bible and all of Jesus’ teaching – not just His teaching on love and grace – teachings that make one feel comfortable and for which the believer won’t be persecuted or rejected.
The foolish so-called follower of Jesus insists that Jesus is too loving, too kind to judge. This man or woman acts like Jesus never said a thing about judgment – or if He did He only warned the religious leaders of coming judgment.
But to insist on this is the depth of biblical ignorance. Worse, it’s spiritual malpractice. And worse still, it’s idolatry because it’s a false gospel, a different Jesus. Please join me in examining Jesus' own words -- His gracious word of warning of coming judgment -- and let's learn to live in greater awe and reverence of Him.
Far too many churches in America have opted for an idolatrous, false gospel -- a "me-centered," feel-good Christian faith that offers everything and requires nothing -- no daily cross-bearing. It has opted for a god who is only loving, never judgmental, and who will certainly never condemn anyone to Hell. But this is not the Jesus of Scripture.
As far back as 1937, Richard Niebuhr saw this and warned against it with sarcasm: "A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross."
In this passage, listen carefully to His words and orient your life to the truth of the gospel -- not nice-guy Jesus preachers make Him out to be.
If I knew I had only five messages to preach before I went to heaven, forgiveness would definitely be one of those messages. Living a lifestyle of forgiveness is that vital. The title is a tough, provocative one because its message is so true, so urgent. Please listen to find out why.
While the world -- and even the Church -- is sleeping concerning the things in life that matter more than anything Jesus teaches on a vital matter. Do you understand His return? Do you live with the kind of urgency about His return that He calls you to live with? These are the matters He addresses in this passage in Luke.
Jesus plainly teaches that people are not going to be ready for His return -- yet He urges that all be ready for His return! Why? How? And how could any believer in Him not be ready for His return? Stay tuned to discover the answers! This is Part 104 in our series on Luke's gospel, entitled The Know Your Faith series.

Highly respected Old Testament scholar Derek Kidner, in his commentary on Psalm 63 rightly declares this of this psalm: “There may be other psalms that equal this outpouring of devotion; few if any that surpass it.”
Find out why this psalm is so special as we explore what David -- a man with a very deep relationship with God -- writes out of time of great danger and deep personal need. This is the second of three messages on Psalm 63.

This is a one-week pause from our study in the gospel of Luke, to focus on Jesus' compassion for people and His awesome power to meet their needs, fulfilling messianic expectations and prophecies of His power.
It's been one of the great joys of my life to preach through the gospel of Luke! This is part 101 in our series in this gospel, called the Know Your Faith Series.
It just so happens that this passage is one of my favorite passages in all of Scripture, for very important reasons. In this teaching, Jesus says something extremely important -- extremely eye-opening -- for all people. Don't miss what He has to say!
It's been the joy of a lifetime to preach through the gospel of Luke! This is part 100 in our series in this gospel, called the Know Your Faith Series. It just so happens to be one of my favorite passages in all of Scripture. More importantly, Jesus says something extremely important -- extremely eye-opening -- for all people. Don't miss what He has to say!
There is an appalling, alarming, and willful ignorance of a major essential of the Christian faith among professing believers in Jesus Christ, and that is concerning the Person of the Holy Spirit -- the Third Person of the Holy Trinity.
Here is a shocking statistic about the Holy Spirit from a recent survey of evangelical Christians in America: 60 percent of the evangelical survey respondents believe that “The Holy Spirit is a force but is not a personal being.” https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2022/september-web-only/state-of-theology-evangelical-heresy-report-ligonier-survey.html
The purpose of this message is to correct that grave error and introduce the wonder of God the Holy Spirit to believers in this Know Your Faith Series in the Gospel of Luke!
What God thinks of us is infinitely more important than what man thinks of us. How is it then that people are more concerned about what others think of them than what God thinks of them? What people think of you when you stand before God on the Day of Judgment will mean nothing! In that day, none of men’s opinions on anything that counters the words of Scripture will matter!
This is the focus of the teaching of Jesus here in Luke 12:8-12.
