3. THE KINGDOM AND GENEROSITY
Building whose Kingdom?
The Church and the Kingdom (Hebrews 12, Ephesians 2:6, 1 Thessalonians 2:14, Galatians 1:1-2)
The Church as the centrepiece of God’s renewing work (Ephesians 3:10)
The Kingdom and the Church are not identical (Matthew 16:18-19, Matthew 24:14)
The “renewal of all things” (Matthew 19:24-28, Ephesians 1:22-23)
The Church as witness to the Kingdom (Acts 8:12, 19:8, 20:25, 28:31)
The Church never at rest
Conflict
Tension
A bigger vision means Gospel Generosity…
