From the Pulpit...

To be faithful servants of God, we must share the good news of the kingdom of Christ along with salvation through Christ. We must proclaim both the suffering of Christ, and the full picture of Christ's glory in His coming kingdom. This kingdom will be world-wide, governed by Christ, with tremendous economic, agricultural, governmental, religious, and moral conditions. We saw that the gospel of salvation which is commonly understood by Christians is a subset of the larger "gospel of the kingdom."

Our Scripture reading was from Luke 2:1-20.
