There is a lot of discussion today about being relevant. Everyone wants his or her life to count for something beyond the mundane and in the midst of the mundane. Is there a key to being relevant? An Elder Statesman in the Kingdom of God provides the answer.
Extending the Kingdom
Nowhere in Scripture are we ever told to “build the Kingdom of God” here on earth. There are preachers and teachers that will say that, but nowhere do we find this idea supported in the Word of God. God’s Kingdom is the exercise of God’s authority. It is God reigning. And because His reign is firmly established and will never come to an end, it cannot be contested or improved upon. It can, however, be extended. There are three primary ways we can work with the Lord to extend His reign. Can you guess what they are?

With Just Two Words…
With just two simple words Jesus Christ opened the Kingdom of God to all who would respond. These two words continue to resound from His throne to us today, and we do well to pay attention.

Kingdom Leadership

In the Kingdom of God, a leader is simply one follower showing others how to follow.
It’s called being an example of living in the Reign.
