Pastor Jack introduces a new series on the Kingdom of God, teaching that it’s not merely a distant heaven but a present rulership available to believers today. Drawing from John the Baptist’s message in Matthew 3, he explains that Jesus came to announce an option to living under Satan’s current administration of this world? ?offering instead to establish God’s loving rule in our lives here and now. Pastor Jack challenges religious bigotry and superficiality, calling believers to prepare their hearts through repentance so the kingdom can burst forth in them and flow through them to others.
