Kingdom of Heaven

Matthew Study - Part 1 of 10

God's Kingdom is a Present Reality

---

This video is the first of a ten-week Bible study series on the Gospel of Matthew. 

We discuss the phrase "the kingdom of Heaven."  What would that mean to those hearers of first-century Israel? 

Over the many years, this phrase has taken on western connotations of a local (Kingdom as a noun) in the future that we call heaven. 

But for the Jews of the first century, the Kingdom of Heaven meant the present reality of God's "reign" (as a verb). 

​The present action of God’s rule here on earth as Jesus teaches us to pray: “your kingdom come, your will be done, on EARTH as it is in Heaven.” 

Join us as we explore this crucial topic.
