Message #6 in my "Road Trip" series at St. Stephen's Lutheran Church.
Title: "Kingdom Come - Then and Now"
Summary: Continues to unpack the condensed version of the message of Jesus in Mark 1:15
"The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has come near; repent and believe the good news!" The focus this time is the word "Kingdom" and the phrase "Kingdom come." Looks at two meanings: the final arrival of the Kingdom when Jesus returns (reappears, really) and the idea that the Kingdom can come it various ways even now, in us and through us. For example, whenever something broken is fixed that's "a little bit of Kingdom come." So the message of Jesus is not only about the Kingdom to come in the future, but also an invitation to join in God's work to bring the Kingdom here and now.
