Kingdom of God, Virginia
On Sunday June 18, June 25, and July 3 we will have a Sermon Series on the Kingdom of God. The reason that I picked this topic is that I think that we need to be reminded that the presence of God is around us and part of us---or at least part of what we are trying to do individually or as a church. If we understand that God is trying to show himself in his kingdom, here in Leesburg, VA through us that may help us in our self-understanding as we begin our planning process.
What is it like?
More than anything else, Jesus talks about the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is like….this. But it is still so fuzzy. We feel the need to ask the come down to earth questions: Who? What? Where? Why? And How? That is because Jesus doesn’t give us a tangible picture. Why is that (oops!)? The next Three weeks we will talk about that. We will explore how God works among us and how God is revealed to us in all the Kingdom of God moments that we experience.
This week, we will be talking about what the Kingdom of God is like. Where is it? How do we see it? And maybe it is more tangible than we thought. So maybe the Kingdom of God will be near this Sunday morning, you won’t know unless you see for yourself. Let us find out together.
