The Kingdom | The Prophet E2

Practicing the Way
About this episode

What does the kingdom of God actually look like? John Mark walks through Isaiah's prophetic vision of the Messiah and the coming Kingdom of God, then explores its fulfillment in Jesus's ministry and parables. He leaves us by challenging us with Jesus's words to "seek first the Kingdom" in a culture full of competing visions of the good life.


Key Scripture Passages: Isaiah 10v33-11v9; Luke 3v21-22; Mark 1v1-3, 14-15; Mark 4v30-34; Matthew 6v21, 31-33
