Kingdom Principle : What must we do to be saved? The answer depends on who and what you are trusting for your salvation. If you are trusting in yourself, you must keep the law of God perfectly, without one minor infraction. A feat we are incapable of achieving. This is why Jesus came and died for sinners. In his perfect life and sacrifice he secures eternal life for those who believe.      Man’s _...

Kingdom Principle : There are many things in this life that vie for our allegiance to Jesus Christ. Things that seem good on the surface, but can draw us away if we do not subject them first to our allegiance to Christ. At the end of the day all things in this life are to be subservient to the King of kings, and Lord of lords.      Love of _________________________________ Luke 9:57 (ESV) — 57 As...

Kingdom Principle: The disciples are struggling to grasp Jesus’ real purpose in coming to earth. He came in order that he might die. The disciples aren’t ready for this. They don’t want Jesus to die. And they certainly don’t want him to die for the likes of the Samaritans. But what we find is that Jesus has died for all kinds of people. People who are like us and those who are not. We must take th...

Kingdom Principle: At the center of God’s plan for Christ was the cross. Jesus had to die in order to free his people from the penalty and power of sin. We live in light of this freedom in his death. The Cross ________________ our ____________________ of SinsRomans 5:12–14 (ESV) — 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men b...

Kingdom Principle: Jesus reveals his glory to the disciples, for a short time, in order to instill confidence in them. Jesus can deliver on his promise because he is more glorious than Moses and Elijah. In Christ is life and he grants it to all who believe. 2Peter 1:16-21The effect of the transfiguration, writes David Gooding, was to convince the disciplesbeyond any shadow of doubt of the real exi...

Kingdom Principle: Jesus, our Lord and Savior calls us to come and die in order that we might live. The call of Christ our King is to deny our self, pick up our cross, and follow him.

Big Idea: We are commanded to be careful how we conduct ourselves in this life, out of reverence and love for our Heavenly Father.

The ____________ of our Father.1 Peter 1:17 (ESV) — 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves wit...

Kingdom Principle: The Apostles are granted authority to perform miraculous deeds in order to establish them as those who would form the doctrinal foundation of God’s church. (Eph. 2:20) They are unique in their abilities and because they are unique, it make their ministry universal.

I.  Two OpposingVoices  (1-6, 13-18)   Proverbs 9:1-6 (ESV) — 1 Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars. 2 She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table. 3 She has sent out her young women to call from the highest places in the town, 4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” To him who lacks sense she says, 5 “Come, eat of my bread and dri...

Kingdom Principle: Jesus encounters a woman with an incurable condition. In spite of all of her attempts to be healed by physicians, her condition has only gotten worse. But a simple touch of Jesus’ garment, grants her the cure she longed for. She is completely healed by the power of Jesus. This causes us to ask another question, if Jesus is so powerful to save, why do we often suffer for so long?...

Kingdom Principle: Jesus is Lord. This is the message that was championed by the early church. It is one that effects every avenue of life. When we understand that Jesus is Lord over all things, we humbly submit to his will for our lives and declare his goodness to all we encounter.

Kingdom Principle : The storms in this life are designed to force us into the stern with Jesus. When we turn to Jesus and his Word, we are reminded that nothing befalls us that is not part of God’s sovereign plan and completely controlled by his capable hand.  “Know Jesus, Know Peace. No Jesus, No Peace.” John 16:33 (ESV) — 33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the...

Kingdom Principle: Since Jesus’ kingdom, in the current iteration, is a spiritual kingdom, that is to say he rules in the hearts of mankind primarily, and what may seem obvious to the physical realm, isn’t always true in the spiritual realm.
