Gospel and Kingdom Pt. 4
As Jimmy and Joe go back to Graeme Goldsworthy little gem, Gospel and Kingdom, they dive into chapter 5, “Covenant and Kingdom”. What is the Kingdom of God, and how is it presented in the Bible? Where do we first see the Kingdom, and what place does the kingdom have in different parts of Scripture? Is the Kingdom a present reality or a future hope? What impact should our citizenship in the Kingdom of God have in our daily lives in this world? If you are joining in now, be sure to pick up The Goldsworthy Trilogy. You'll get three of Goldsworthy's works, including Gospel and Kingdom. The page numbers will line up exactly with the single volume we are using as well.
