Catch a Vision for His Kingdom

What an outstanding class and participation from everyone who attended the inter generational class last Sunday over Jesus, kingdom, and politics. When I reflect upon the Bible I see more gatherings with multiple generations than I do of our current model of separation of generations we see in our churches across the world. Thanks to you, we had over 55 in attendance ranging from 12 up to approximately 67.5. Found the below quote on friends blog (Nathan Zinck) who will be moving to Brazil to do mission work, visit the team at www.niteroimission.com

The quote reflects one perspective of the story of God we are trying to unfold during the next two weeks.

“When Christians catch a vision of the Kingdom of God, their sight shifts to the poor, the orphan, the widow, the refugee, the wretched of the earth, to God’s future – to the concerns of justice, mercy, and truth. Church people think about how to get people into the church. Kingdom people think about how to get the church into the world. Church people worry that the world might change the church. Kingdom people work to see the church change the world.” Howard Synder in his book, “Liberating the Church” (Downers Grove, IL. Inter-Varsity Press, 1983)
