The Gospel Many People Have Never Heard
Sunday, May 8, 2011
Scripture: Matthew 4:12-17
Jesus' Narrative: Getting Heaven into us NOW
False Narrative: The Kingdom of God is Future
How do we enter the Kingdom of Heaven?
- Righteousness... humility, a purity of heart, integrity, gentleness, respect and mercy
- Become as a child... live each day in dependence and trust, receiving everything as a gift
- Born of water and spirit...We are indwelt by a person far greater than a set of regulations
In order to enter the Kingdom we must surrender our lives to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
