1 Timothy 2:1-4 NLT
[1] I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. [2] Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. [3] This is good and pleases God our Savior, [4] who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.

June 21st Sermon Summary
Happy Father's Day!

Elevated: The Kingdom is Near

Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

This message is still relevant today as there are two worlds constantly competing for your attention. The first is a kingdom where you rule. The second is a kingdom where God rules.

The Sermon on the Mount, begins in Matthew 5 and happens during a transition period. John the Baptist has preached repentance and baptism, paving the way for Jesus's ministry. John was a messenger, but Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus's ministry begins to gain momentum, John moves into the background.

Repentance is turning away from sin. You must submit your entire life to the God who created everything. Repentance is looking at your life and seeing that it isnt working. It challenges us to leave the illusion behind.

We all want to find rest in the Kingdom of Heaven. But maybe tomorrow. Today we are more interested in pleasing ourselves. Failure to prepare adequately now will result in condemnation later.

So what is the Kingdom of God/Heaven? John says to get ready, that it is near. Jesus says it is so close that you can see it dawning. The Kingdom is not a geographical location with physical boundaries. The Kingdom is both now and eternity. God's presence with us.

Two things come with the Kingdom:

1) Salvation: complete removal of your sins.
2) Condemnation: for those who dont repent and change their ways. If you spend your entire life rejecting God, why would He force you to spend eternity with him?

God has placed eternity in the heart of each of us. We should eagerly watch and anticipate His return.

The Sermon on the Mount shows us God's heart. He calls us out of the darkness into His light...into His Kingdom.

You are encouraged to read through The Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5 - 7 as we will be spending the next five weeks in it.

Worshipping the Lord

Romans 11:33-36 NLT
[33] Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways! [34] For who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice? [35] And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back? [36] For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
