Series: The King and the Kingdom VII
Message – Promises made…promises kept II
(Please accept our apologies for the poor quality of this recording, our equipment will be in working order for Wednesday night.)
Last week we ended with…
We were reading through and commenting on the promises God has made to the Patriarchs and the nation of Israel through the prophets throughout scripture. We ended in Ezekiel 36 which speaks of God’s great promise to restore Israel to their land…to end the hostilities of their enemies all around them and to cause them to flourish once more under Christ’s hand as their Messiah, Shepherd, King!
The true citizens of the Kingdom
Tonight I felt the need to begin with a brief intro which touched on the subject of those who are truly citizens of the kingdom as apposed to those who only have a mere external adherence to the Christian faith. When the good news of the King and the Kingdom is truly believe upon and into there is an inward transformation which effects our outward allegiances. Progressively, over time, the work of establishing the rule and reign of Christ in the heart becomes outwardly obvious because our inward devotions have changed. These things reveal a heart in which the Kingdom of God has truly come!
To illustrate the point, I read 1Peter 1:3-9, before continuting on our trek through scripture on God’s kingdom as revealed in and through the nation of Israel in the Millennial Kingdom.
