His Kingdom Called Paradise His Kingdom At Hand

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of the kingdom of heaven being both a future paradise and a present reality 'at hand' within believers. It emphasizes that the kingdom is a spiritual experience inside us, characterized by righteousness, peace, and joy through the Holy Spirit, and calls for repentance—a change in thinking and actions—to live according to this kingdom. The preacher highlights the paradox of finding happiness even in hardship through the kingdom and contrasts it with worldly kingdoms, urging believers to embrace a Christlike mindset and lifestyle. The message is grounded in New Testament teachings from Jesus, John the Baptist, Paul, and the apostles about the kingdom's nearness and spiritual nature.
