Joshua 24: Chose today whom you will serve...As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. THE KINGDOM OF GOD: Demands a Decision

LOVE! It all begins and ends with LOVE! John 3:16. At the second coming of Christ, his kingdom will appear in power and glory. This glorious kingdom has already entered into history ! The life of God's Kingdom, which will be realised in all its fullness when Christ comes again, has entered into the present so that men may now be born again and enter into God's Kingdom - the sphere of his reign, the realm of His blessings. Tomorrow is here today.

 The Value and Significance of the Kingdom of God  The Kingdom Demands a Decision  The Kingdom of God Requires a Response of Man’s Will  Kingdom of God Demands a Resolute Decision  The Kingdom of God Demands a Radical, Costly Decision.

The Value and Significance of the Kingdom of God The parables of The Hidden Treasure, Matthew 13:44 The Pearl, Matthew 13: Both teach that the Kingdom is of great worth.

The Kingdom Demands a Decision Jesus said we can choose: a narrow gate or a wide gate, road (Matthew 7:13-14) to build on rock or sand (Matthew 7:24-27) to serve God or riches (Matthew 6:24) be numbered among the sheep or the goats (Matthew 25:32-33)

The Kingdom of God Requires a Response of Man’s Will Mark 1: Philippians 2: 12-13, Hebrews 10:23.

Kingdom of God Demands a Resolute Decision Luke 9:57-62.

The Kingdom of God Demands a Radical, Costly Decision. Matthew 11:12. Mark 9:47 Matthew 19:16-30 Matthew 10: 38. Martin Luther King, Jr.: "If a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live."

The Kingdom of God calls us to choose… and choose wisely, radically and eternally. · Will we choose COMFORT or a CROSS? · Will we choose MAINTENANCE or MISSION? · Will we choose DIVIDED minds or UNDIVIDED hearts? Joshua 24: Chose today whom you will serve...As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
