What if the primary message of Jesus wasn’t personal salvation or the afterlife, but something far bigger—something present and active right now? This episode dives deep into the oft-overlooked theme of the kingdom of God, exploring what Jesus really meant when he talked about the kingdom over a hundred times in the Gospels. Discover why this message is still central today, how it changes our understanding of faith, and what it looks like to live as a citizen of the kingdom right where you are. If you’re ready to rethink what it means to follow Jesus, this episode will challenge and inspire you."The kingdom of God is wherever God is allowed to rule and reign." - Tim WindersAccess all show and episode resources HEREEpisode Resources:NT90 Hub – This is the central website for the 90-day New Testament reading plan, with downloadable, printable plans, background information, and links to all episodes and resources.Episode Highlights:00:00 Kingdom Central Message 00:41 Series Setup and Reading Plan 02:15 Episode Focus Kingdom Today 05:20 Jesus and Kingdom Priority 09:17 Kingdom Means Reign 11:56 Where God Is Allowed 15:25 Kingdom At Hand Now 19:17 Apostles Preached Kingdom 21:59 Already Transferred In 25:18 Kingdom Keeps Expanding 26:21 From Customers to Citizens 29:12 Kingdom Living Practices 30:14 No Temple No Priest Class 32:16 Letters as Kingdom Instructions 32:46 End Times Means Action 34:00 Kingdom Ethics Checklist 36:36 Hope Beyond Escape 42:09 Kingdom Already Here 44:26 Grief Over Lost Rapture 45:52 Reading Scripture In Context 46:55 What Kingdom Meant Then 48:33 Modern Misread Consequences 49:50 Kingdom Hope Today 50:14 Four Areas Of Impact 50:29 People Over Tribalism 51:09 No New Priest Class 52:11 Politics Under King Jesus 53:24 Kingdom At Work 55:01 Kingdom Message Recap 55:58 Next Episode Women Leaders 56:57 Read And Count Kingdom 58:40 Final Challenge And Sendoff
