Join Us for Our New Preaching Series: "Kingdom"
Did you know that Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of Heaven more than any other topic? It’s the central message of His ministry, and it’s still relevant for us today. But what does the Kingdom of God, Kingdom of Heaven mean for us now? How do we live in a kingdom that is both already and yet to come?
Heaven is not just a future event—it’s happening right now.
The Kingdom of God is here, but it's also yet to come. In this four-week series, “Kingdom”, we dive into the powerful tension of living in the "already" and the "not yet"—the reality that God's Kingdom has broken into our world, but the fullness is still on its way. Through the teachings of Jesus and Paul, we will discover how to live Kingdom-minded lives today, while eagerly waiting for the fullness of God’s promises tomorrow.
What You Can Expect
from KINGDOM
The Kingdom of God is both present and future. Jesus has already established it through His resurrection, but we also wait for the ultimate fulfillment of His return. As we examine the tension between the present and future, you'll learn how to live in the "already" while anticipating the "not yet."
Already and Not Yet” in Communion
Communion isn’t just a ritual. It’s a vivid reminder of how we live in the Kingdom right now while waiting for the day when Jesus returns. When we break bread and drink from the cup, we remember Jesus' body broken for us, and we anticipate the heavenly banquet we’ll share with Him one day.
Hope in the Tension
The tension between the “already” and “not yet” isn’t easy. It’s like the kids in the back seat asking, "Are we there yet?" But here’s the good news: Hope changes everything. We have hope that Christ is with us now, and we have hope for the future when all will be made right.
What if God Were in Charge?
Think for a moment—if God was fully in charge of this world, what would it look like?What would change? More peace? More love? More justice? Now, ask yourself: What would change in your life if God was fully in charge?

You don’t have to wait for the future to start living like it.he Kingdom of God is something we experience now.
We bring His Kingdom into our communities, families,and friendships by living out His love today.
