Advance the Kingdom: Shallow Beliefs or Deep Faith? - Phil McKinney II (5 January 2020)

This year we will focus our attention on advancing the kingdom of God/Heaven. This was Jesus’ focus during His earthly ministry, and it should be ours today. But what is the “Kingdom of God/Heaven” and what does it mean to advance it? More importantly, what does it mean to live a “Kingdom Life”? Today, we focus our thoughts on how our beliefs affect our Kingdom living. Our beliefs inform our behaviors and ultimately who we are becoming. Jesus came so that we might believe in Him and live with Him forever in His Kingdom. However, He didn’t come to simply confirm long-standing beliefs, but to challenge and deepen them. Jesus doesn’t want us to simply live by the letter of the law, but to live by the intent of it. Are we willing to allow Jesus to challenge our beliefs in order to get at the foundation of Kingdom Living? Join us this morning as we explore the difference between shallow beliefs and a deep faith. Join us as we commit to ADVANCE THE KINGDOM in 2020
