“Life in the Kingdom of God” # 2 Matthew 5:1-12

TRANSCRIPT

Date: February 27, 2022 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

Two-thousand years ago, God spoke His final word of warning to all mankind. That “Word” was Jesus of Nazareth, and that “warning” was: “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” In His first sermon, Jesus made it clear that He had not come to remove the Roman government from power and restore the sovereignty of the nation of Israel. Neither had He come to purify the Jewish Religion of its legalistic hypocrisy. Jesus said He came to inaugurate the new Kingdom of God, and to call out those who would inhabit that kingdom for all eternity. Beloved, rather than wasting our time trying to repair our broken government, or trying to restore our failing churches, we need to be preparing those we love to enter into the Kingdom of God, for it is soon to be revealed We will explain this further in our next sermon in this series – “Behold the King: Life in the Kingdom of God # 2”
