MORE THAN A BUILDING
The Book of Acts: The Christ (Body, Bride, Building) * The Cross * The Commission
John Hunn
He DIED; He ROSE; He COMMISSIONED (4x) – Did His disciples dismiss this? They didn’t understand the delay to the Kingdom would be a global body of believers!
“The Re-Commissioning of Jesus Christ to His Church” / Acts 1:1-11
The Word of God & The Son of God define and describe the term Kingdom of God
(The Kingdom has been a foundational focus before Jesus came; Once Jesus came; After Jesus left!)
I. This KINGDOM language is Not New to Jesus, Not New to His disciples, Not New to the New Testament (68x “KINGDOM OF GOD & 32x KINGDOM OF HEAVEN) - When you hear “KINGDOM” – Psalm 45:6; Psalm 103:19
1. Think Priority – 40 days of this focus!
2. Think Authority: The Reign & Rule of the “King” – think the throne
3. Think Spiritual, not physical -
4. Think Heavenly not earthly (eternal, not temporal) -
5. Think Relational – not religious – John 3:3-8; 18:33-38; Luke 23:39-43
a. I Corinthians 15:20-24
b. Colossians 1:13-14
