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.

God doesn’t desire for us to go through life making choices that lead to our detriment, but he came to give us abundant life.

Jesus often went out of his way for people. Even when he was on a journey, he would take the time to respond to the needs of the people.

I believe that learning how to be intentionally grateful in good times helps us better prepare for the rocky waters of life when they come.

I suspect that we might be so focused on the rules in one area of our lives, that we’re missing out on something greater being done.

God is graciously pointing out to me that trusting him is the posture that I should live in.
