Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52; Romans 8:26-39 | Within the church we hear the phrase “the kingdom of God” quite often. But what is “God’s Kingdom” really all about? Even Jesus used several illustrations – or parables – to paint a picture of what the kingdom of heaven really is. So then, what are we to think? And what does it mean to participate in this kingdom? Join us for worship as we are assured of God’s promise to call us beloved – one of infinite value – and as we are invited to join with Christ in the kingdom.
