What is the kingdom?
The kingdom of heaven is the unseen governing body from heaven to earth. It allows his children to be ambassadors on earth to rule like the king through justice, love and authority.
Why is it important?
It is hard to live in a world that has many problems, so Christ spoke about the promise of a kingdom that will change this current way of life. We are called to live by the kingdom's way for our lives to be fruitful. To do this, we would need to turn from the pattern of the world.
How we help you apply it?
The Kingdom is yet to come, but we are called to live by its culture. We help you to understand the kingdom by teaching you the principles and culture of the kingdom.
The Vine and the Branches
John 15: 1 -17
Press play to listen or read along to what Jesus spoke about The Vine and Branches.
(1)“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. (2) He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. (3) You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. (4) Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
(5) “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. (6) If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. (7) If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. (8) This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
(9) “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. (10) If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. (11) I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. (12) My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. (13) Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (14) You are my friends if you do what I command. (15) I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. (16) You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. (17) This is my command: Love each other.
