The Kingdom of God, part 2
The voices of the prophets have gone silent and God's people are scattered. Empires have risen and fallen. There remains faint echoes of the promise of the LORD renewing his covenant and roaring for his children to return to Him from all points of the compass. It will need to be a roar to be heard as hearts have grown cold or have been captured by another voice.
This Sunday, we will listen for His voice calling His people to Himself. We will see the huge contrast between the kingdom of men and the kingdom of God. God's king, Jesus, is looking for a partner who will go and be the message of His hope for the hopeless, His forgiveness and peace, and His removal of suffering and death. He is looking for His people who will pray "Hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
