Characteristics of the Kingdom: Celebratory

In the Kingdom, there is an abundance of joy; let’s not miss God’s invitation into his celebration today!

The Kingdom is collaborative, not competitive. It’s generous, not stingy.

Let’s go out of our way today, laying down our preferences, our wants, and our desires to serve someone else.

The Kingdom is imbued with justice and overflows with mercy. And God has called us to live the same way.

The Kingdom is upside down to us but it’s simply because our perspective is incorrect.

I believe the parables in Matthew 13 can remind us of who God is and who we are.

As children of God, we are blessed no matter how the circumstances look.

The Kingdom is full of grace, love, joy, and peace that we are welcomed in to enjoy.

Because of the Holy Spirit living inside of us, the Kingdom is always near. And when the Kingdom is near, lives change.

We can bring the peace, grace, love, hope, and joy of the Kingdom here to earth today.
