KEY
VERSE: v. 15
“‘At last the time has come!’
Jesus announced. ‘God’s
Kingdom is near! Turn from your
sins and act on this glorious news!’”
FOCUS: God’s call to Kingdom-life is a call to take on the virtues of Christ.
INTRODUCTION: “So if we ask, where is the Kingdom of God today? Here is the Gospel answer: it is wherever a man or a woman has made Christ the Lord of life and accepted the rule of God in the heart. That is where the Kingdom is. And that is the explanation of the sudden happiness that comes to any man who makes the great decision; it is the other world, the eternal Kingdom world, breaking through into time, coming above the surface in that man’s life. The Kingdom of God is there.” ~ James S. Stewart

CONCLUSION:
