Jesus' Kingdom and Jesus' Church

Summary

The sermon distinguishes between Jesus' kingdom and Jesus' church, emphasizing that the kingdom is an internal, spiritual reality within believers, while the church is a visible, local assembly of believers who gather to worship. The speaker highlights that both the kingdom and the church are essential and interdependent for New Testament Christianity. The church is described as the place where the gospel is preached and believers encourage one another, and forsaking assembly is warned against with serious spiritual consequences. The sermon also underscores Jesus as both King and High Priest, who builds a spiritual temple composed of believers.
