The Kingdom We Didn't Expect
As Jesus approaches Jerusalem, the crowds expect the Kingdom to appear instantly—visible, victorious, and undeniable. But Jesus teaches that the Kingdom begins quietly, growing in people long before it is seen in the world. Through the parable of the nobleman in Luke 19, the vineyard, and our own shared history as a church, Terry shares that the in-between time is not empty time—it is formation. The Lord is shaping us into a people who will recognize Him when He returns. Slow, steady faithfulness is the work of the Kingdom.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
