Our savior used the word Kingdom over 75 times, as recorded in the New Testament. He sometimes called it the Kingdom of Heaven, and sometimes he called it the Kingdom of God. Note how they are used interchangeably in Matthew 4: 17 and Mark 1: 14-15. Kingdom refers to God's kingship or rule from heaven. Often, in the Old Testament, this idea of God's domain and rule is his rule over the entire world.

He sits upon a throne, Psalm 103: 19. The host of heaven surrounds him, 1 Kings 22: 19, and He appoints rulers in the world, Daniel 2: 37, 4: 17. He is the king of the entire world, 1 Chronicles 29: 11, and his rule is everlasting, Psalms 145: 13.

However, the Old Testament speaks much about a Kingdom being established in the future. Note Daniel 2: 44, these kings—the Roman kings—and Daniel 7: 13-14. This kingdom did not exist yet, yet God promised it would one day.

God Reigns Over The Nations

I’m glad God’s Word includes Psalms 47:8 “God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne.” If you are like me, you are appalled at what you see happening in our country. Immorality is getting worse and worse. Christianity is being ridiculed at all levels of government; conservative values are on the decline. Is our country getting close to crossing the line where God’s anger will be unleashed upon us?

Citizens of the Kingdom

Being a citizen of a country brings with it certain rights and responsibilities: the right to vote, the right to vote, the right to assemble… Being a citizen of the Kingdom of God also brings with it certain rights and responsibilities. We will now pay attention to those.

1. What is the kingdom

2. Who is the King?

3. Who Are The Subjects?

Being a citizen of the Kingdom means surrendering to God’s Lordship and following His will. Are you willing to do that?

“Don’t leave your life to chance.”

Christ's Kingdom

About the fact that there are many out there who say that Jesus will one day come back and set up an earthly kingdom. The topic came up in this morning's class. And it probably would surprise you if you realized how many different groups of folks teach that. And also that made it's way into the church, and there are those within the church who are teaching that Jesus will return and set up an earthly kingdom. They really don't understand that when Jesus returns, the earth is going to be destroyed. II Peter Chapter 3 verses 10 through 12 makes that very clear, that the earth and the works therein shall be burned up. Therefore, Jesus will not be establishing an earthly kingdom, because the earth will not exist at that time.

One thing, though, that I think this teaching derives from is we know that throughout the Old Testament, there were many prophecies about the establishment of a kingdom, that the Messiah would came, and when he came, he would establish a kingdom. And as we talked about this morning in class, even the apostles, I think, even up to the last moments that they were with Jesus, were expecting an earthly kingdom, not realizing that Jesus came to establish a spiritual kingdom.

4. The Work of the Kingdom

Introduction: (Billy Moore)

1. When God has “delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” - Col. 1: 13 we should expect to have some work to do as citizens of his kingdom.

2. “…These only are my fellow workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.- Col. 4:7-11.

a. This shows that there is a work for those who are in the kingdom of God.

3. Those at Thessalonica were charged to “walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory” - 2 Ihess. 2:12.

a. God has not called us into his kingdom just to sit idly with nothing to do.

4. In this lesson we want to study the work of the kingdom of God. Perhaps all who read this have studied about the work of the church—evangelism, edification and benevolence—but we want to study the work from the viewpoint of a kingdom.
