Go Deeper with God

Have questions about something you heard on Sunday? Want to learn more? Check out these resources to help you dig deeper into the Bible and other topics we’re learning about as a community.

The Kingdom of God

Jesus spoke about the kingdom of God more than any other topic. He proclaimed the good news that, through him, God’s kingdom had arrived and that everyone could be a part of it — not just in the distant future but right now. As we find ourselves in an election year in the U.S., many are pondering what it truly means to be a follower of Christ in this season. Over the next seven weeks, we’ll explore what it means to be a citizen of the kingdom of God as we navigate the complex world we live in today.
