Kingdom Come (Luke

In this sermon, Pastor David Ricker addresses the growing frustration felt due to the brokenness in the world and reflects on the nature of God's kingdom. The sermon explores the biblical context of Jesus' teachings on the kingdom of God, highlighting its past, present, and future aspects. Pastor David discusses the Pharisees' expectations of the kingdom and Jesus' response that the kingdom is already among them. The discourse extends to the frustrations of living in a world touched by sin and the anticipation of Christ's return to establish His kingdom fully.

The message emphasizes the urgency of preparing for Jesus’ return by seeking refuge in Christ, living lives of holiness and godliness, and passionately sharing the gospel. Pastor David encourages listeners to take seriously the mission given to us by Jesus: to make disciples of all nations and to be active participants in advancing God's kingdom on Earth while there is still time. The sermon concludes with a call to action, urging listeners to share the gospel and invite others to find refuge in Christ before the door to the kingdom closes.
