The Last Kingdom
Speakers: Andy Stanley & Joel Thomas
Length: 5 Parts
Earthly kingdoms rise fast, dominate briefly, and disappear quietly, but God’s kingdom operates on a completely different timeline. If you build your life on temporary structures, don’t be surprised when they crumble. But Jesus ushered in a new kingdom. One that would last forever.
What does it actually look like to live as a citizen of God’s kingdom while surrounded by competing narratives. Did the early church know something about Jesus that many often miss today?
Part 1: Lost in Translation
If we re-center our faith around the arrival of a King rather than a ticket to heaven, we will discover why his arrival and his kingdom are good news for all people.
Part 2: Reclaiming the Plotline
The term "Christ" was originally a royal title meaning "anointed one" or “king,” not a name. And the message of the gospel is not just about personal salvation but about aligning with the reign of Jesus as King.
Part 3: Beyond Pledging Allegiance
People all over the world claim to be Christian based on a belief that Jesus is the ultimate king. But at times, we can find ourselves living in defiance of the very King we swear allegiance to.
Part 4: Fight Like the King
The fight of faith is about becoming more like Jesus, not about defeating enemies.
Part 5: Unstoppable
Jesus’s kingdom is not advanced by force, but over time through transformed lives. We are invited to participate in its expansion.
