The kingdom of God is at the heart of the biblical story and the Christian life. Without a full immersion in the theology and experience of the kingdom, our Christian lives will always feel deficient. This is a series challenging us to embrace the kingdom, so we might live life to its fullness. As we begin, we consider the picture of kingdom life from Old Testament. Solomon’s early reign saw a golden age of kingdom living: there is peace and prosperity; worship, celebration, art, science and abundance. It provides a taste of the kingdom to come. The challenge for us is to allow Jesus to be the King in all aspects of our lives. When he is, the kingdom necessarily breaks forth.
