The King and His Kingdom

Part 4
Jesus had ONE message:
THE KINGDOM: The KING and His domain!
From that time Jesus began to preach ,and to say,
Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand
(Mt.4:17)
The word repent is metanoeo and literally means to
think differently.
We cannot think ANY thoughts other than Gods if we
are to bring heaven to earth!
Matt.4:18-23
And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two
brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his
brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were
fishermen. Then He said to them, Follow Me,
and I will make you fishers of men. They
immediately left their nets and followed Him.
NOTE: The importance of FOLLOWING then the
MAKING
Eph.1:3-6(NKJV)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the
heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him
before the foundation of the world, that we should be
holy and without blame before Him in love, having
predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to
Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to
the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made
us accepted in the Beloved.
So we praise God for the glorious grace he has
poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.
(vs. 6 in NLT)
This belonging must become the pervasive
sense in your life, for it is only in that context
that you become who God wants you to be.


I want to put belonging back to the most important
priority of the Church.
The call of the Spirit is to connect to Jesus and belong
We have small groupsyou need to belong
We have ministries of helps and outreach
We have prayer and intercession
We have many ways for you to connect as a member of
