Glenn Barth interviews Reggie McNeal regarding "The Importance of Kingdom-centric Thinking in City Movements"
The Kingdom of God is not there to serve the Church, but the Body of Christ exists to serve the Kingdom of God. As Christians, we tend to spend so much time focused on the Church and it’s issues that we neglect much of the work God is doing throughout the Earth to bring about His Kingdom.
The history of the Church is full of division and fracturing and isolating us from them. We need to be focused on unity and inclusion and common ground which will allow us to serve and bring about the Kingdom of God in our communities.
