Have you ever longed for something greater than the brokenness of this world? A place where truth, justice, and love reign—where hope isn’t crushed by disappointment? What if this isn’t just a distant dream, but a present reality breaking into our world through the people of God?

In this episode, we explore what it means to truly live in the kingdom of God, rather than just admire it from a distance. Jesus didn’t just proclaim the kingdom—He lived it, and He calls His people to do the same. The church is not just an institution; it’s the visible expression of God’s kingdom on earth.

We’ll look at:

• Jesus’ declaration of the kingdom in Mark 1:10 and how His ministry ushered in the “life of the age to come.”

• Peter’s confession in Matthew 16:13-19, where Jesus established His church as the instrument of His kingdom.

• The role of the church as God’s Plan A—His primary way of bringing redemption to the world.

• The keys of the kingdom and how the apostles’ teaching, repentance, and baptism open the doors for people to enter.

• How we, as followers of Jesus, are called to manifest the kingdom in our daily lives, bringing heaven to earth.

Join us as we wrestle with what it means to live out the kingdom reality in a broken world. Are we just waiting for the kingdom, or are we stepping into it now?
