Description

Episode Summary. Being a Christian is not just trusting Jesus to forgive our sins; it is enlisting in his cause, pursuing his mission—the spread of his kingdom of righteousness over earth. This episode looks at Jesus’ challenge, “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness” and what kingdom attitudes look like in the hearts of men.

For Further Prayerful Thought:

1.  Why is accepting Jesus’ challenge to BECOME LIKE HIM so hard?
2. Which characteristic of the poor in spirit do you most need to focus upon?
3. Contrast the attitude of hostility towards non-believers whose values are corrupting American culture with Jesus’ example of weeping over Jerusalem’s rejection of him as the Messiah.
