I. INTRO
A. Where We’ve Been
a.
Last week we talked about what God’s up to in terms o partnering w/him 2 spread Kingdom seed (God’s word)
B. Where We’re Going
a. Illust.
1. Who here has ever mis-understood what God was up 2?
i. God called me in2 the NAVY
-I expected I was going off 2 b some kind o hero
-What I got was being relegated 2 obscurity & menial servanthood
*God was/is showing me how to b a better servant
-God was also up to leading me to the woman who would become my helper as we partner 2gether 2 fulfill God’s purpose
ii.
How I met Rebekah
-She didn’t know I’d b a pastor
-I didn’t know it either!
*Now, She wasn’t created 2 help me fulfill my purpose…She was created so God could fulfill His purpose 4 us as 1.
2. C we can’t know what God’s purpose is 4 our life, until we know what God’s purpose is
i.
Then we can seek God 4 how we fit in2 that purpose & it’s fulfillment.
b.
This week We’re going to talk about what Kingdom seed becomes & what KOG means specifically & practically
C. Main Text
D. Pray
E. Context
a. this is the last o 4 parables which illust.
what God’s up to
1.
The 1st is about a farmer who sows seed everywhere regardless o the ground ( mk 4:14-20)
i. Jesus defines seed as God’s word
ii. the sower, is 1st Jesus; then, after commissioning his disciples, we become the sower
2. Next Parable (mk 4:21-25) explains the why: 2 illust.
Jesus asks a simple question:
— “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, & not on a stand?” —
i. Jesus is suggesting that its ridiculous not to spread God’s word; it’s like putting a lamp under a basket...
-God gives us his word to spread…the 1st word God gives us is the redemptive msg o the Gospel
*That’s only the beginning
3.
After that is the How (mk 4:26-29): Kingdom seed grows because God makes it grow
4. The last parable is what God’s word becomes & is truly what God is up 2:
i.
So what’s God up to; what does Kingdom seed (God’s word) grow in2?
A. God is up to Kingdom expansion
— What’s kingdom seed expand in2?? —
a. God’s word grows into Kingdom expansion1.
Kingdom seed, when planted in a man’s heart, becomes God’s Kingdom on earth
a. God’s word grows into God’s Kingdom
1. Kingdom seed, when planted in a man’s heart, becomes God’s Kingdom on earth
i.
The more of God’s word that is planted the more of God’s kingdom sprouts up & the further the KOG expands on earth
NKJV20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’
For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
NKJV20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’
For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
b. the point: God’s Kingdom come
ESV10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
1.
So often we r focused on getting people 2 heaven…Jesus teaches us 2 pray that God's Kingdom come 2 earth.
2. This line of thinking really brings us 2 ask…what's God’s Kingdom?
i.
The Pharisees misunderstood this point too
Luke 17:20
- The Pharisees were asking when God & his kingdom would invade in force, set up shop & rule over everything w/Isr.
at the center o that Kingdom
ii.
Jesus says, “nah, u missed it.
ur not going 2 c it come in the way u mean”
-Then Jesus shows the nature o God’s Kingdom coming:
iii.
Jesus said, “the KOG is in ur midst”, meaning The KOG came in the person, ministry & leadership o Jesus!
- c, where Jesus is active & His people r submitting 2 his leadership, there is the KOG!
- The Apostles asked a similar question in...
-Jesus’ response?
*Now we’re right back 2 Kingdom expansion through spreading Kingdom seed (God’s word)
~That’s what it is 2 b a witness 4 Jesus
* & where were they 2 spread kingdom seed?
~in their whole world…1st Jerusalem & further & further as God expands their world & reach!
~Therefore, let’s look @ the KOG this way:
B. God’s Kingdom is God’s Space
a. Literally think o the Kingdom o Heaven (KOH) as God space & everything else as man space
1.
In Man’s Space there’s:
i. Sin
ii.
Death
iii.
Injustice
