As 2020 ends, the world feels chaotic and unstable. With a global pandemic, racial tension, economic uncertainty, and political divisiveness, data shows that many people are struggling to cope. 45,000 Americans are committing suicide each year. 72,000 have experienced an overdose. And for the third year in a row, the average lifespans for Americans has shortened.
Join Pastor Danny as he shares how we can learn to live well in the midst of chaos by understanding the concepts of the three kingdoms.
1. The kingdom of Satan
2. The kingdom of man
3. The Kingdom of God
Bible Verses Mentioned:
“Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God… In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope.” Ephesians
“I don’t have much more time to talk to you, because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me…” John
“Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.” Matthew
“For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.” Philippians
