Every single Sunday we pray as a community that God's Kingdom would come, but how well can we describe the kingdom of God? What is it? Where is it? When is it? Why a kingdom? We hope that through this series we can all have at least a partial answer to some of these questions. And it's important for us because the kingdom is woven everywhere throughout Jesus' life. At the beginning of his ministry he said "the kingdom of God is at hand." He told the Pharisees, "the kingdom of God is in the midst of you." He said, "my kingdom is not of this world," and that he "must preach the good news of the kingdom." The kingdom should be important to us because it was important to Christ.
